Abstract

This paper proposes obstacle detection and classification algorithm using a single laser scanner. The proposed algorithm searches the object singular points using a differential equation, and finds obstacle singular points shows a boundary of obstacle. And the proposed algorithm can classify object even if several obstacles overlapped. Simulation results show the feasibility of proposed algorithm using a single laser scanner, not using several laser scanners.
