Abstract

This paper examines a single vision camera system used for off-road environment autonomous navigation. It develops an adaptive road segmentation algorithm based on the multi-dimensional properties of the k-means algorithm and incorporates temporal data to increase algorithm stability. Algorithm stability is optimized by minimizing variations in segmentation from frame to frame. A metric to quantify these transitions is also defined.
