Abstract
Prior knowledge of the environment constitutes an important help in planning trajectories and avoiding collisions. But sometimes modifications of the workroom due to appearance of possible obstacles are the main drawbacks for getting a high speed of navigation.
The use of multiple sensors provides complementary information that can help to avoid collision.
In order to assure the maintenance of adequate speed of the mobile without producing excessive speed reductions it is nessary to interpret the information acquired from the sensors and focus on the more interesting characteristics of the scene.
The goal of this work is not to develop a navigation system but develop image processors which help us to get the most adequate information needed to carry on the guidance of these mobiles with a response time as low as possible.
The system presented has the function of facilitating the task of fusion of the information obtained from TV cameras and ultrasonic sensors. The facilities provided by the system are oriented to reducing the processing time so that the mobile robot navigation speed is not reduced.
