TL;DR
This research presents a new generation of autonomous navigation systems based on traditional image processing and pattern recognition techniques that perform well under certain conditions but have problems with others.
Abstract
Autonomous navigation has been a difficult problem for traditional vision and robotic techniques, primarily because of the noise and variability associated with real world scenes. Autonomous navigation systems based on traditional image processing and pattern recognition techniques often perform well under certain conditions but have problems with others. Part of the difficulty stems from the fact that the processing performed by these systems remains fixed across various driving situations.
