摘要
Mobile robots navigate through many environments that contain plants. A sensor that can recognise plants would be useful for navigation in these environments. Two problems make plant sensing difficult: plant similarity and plant asymmetry with rotation. a continuously transmitted frequency modulated ultrasonic sensor produces a return signal that contains information about the geometric structure: of plants. Correlation of echoes from many orientations show that plants can be recognised with sufficient accuracy for navigation. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
