Abstract
En 中文
In this paper, a brain-like navigation scheme based on fuzzy kernel C-means (FKCM) clustering assisted pyramid Lucas Kanade (LK) optical flow algorithm is developed to measure the position of vehicle. The Speed Cell and Place Cell in animals' brain are introduced to construct the brain-like navigation mechanism which involves the optical flow method and image template matching to imitate the cells above-mentioned separately. To eliminate the singular values during optical flow calculation, the output of pyramid LK algorithm is clustered by FKCM algorithm firstly. Then, the velocity is calculated and integrated to get the position of the vehicle, and the brain-like navigation scheme is introduced to correct the position measurement errors by eliminating the accumulated errors resulting from velocity integration. The prominent advantages of the presented method are: (i) a pure visual brain-like position measurement method based on the concept of speed cells and place cells is proposed, making visual navigation more accurate and intelligent; (ii) the FKCM algorithm is used to eliminate the singular value of the pyramid LK algorithm, which improves the calculated velocity accuracy. Also, experimental comparison with classical pyramid LK algorithm is given to illustrate the superiority of the proposed method in position measurement.(c) 2023 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
