Kinect-based Design And Implementation Of Car Autonomous Moving System

Autonomous moving robots in unknown environments with obstacle avoidance study is one of the core areas of mobile robotics research.The main task is that with the external environment unknown, the robot can complete path selection from the starting point to the target point by itself, and in this process reliable depth data is the basis for independent travel. The Microsoft Kinect as a low cost and high precision depth sensor have a wide range of applications such as 3D printing, virtual reality,3Dreconstruction, robot navigation and other fields in recent years.It also become popular in many areas of research.This article combined Kinect with driverless car, we designed a car with autonomous obstacle avoidance system. The system is built on the Windows operating system with Kinect as its depth sensor,.Kinect depth data received is sent to the VS based software platform via a data line, the software will filter the Kinect depth data to add the unknown depth information.By analyzing the properties of the treated depth data to come a best idea of obstacles detecting and then design a high efficiency, capable obstacle avoidance system. The system use virtual car instead of the real car to simulate the whole autonomous driving with obstacle avoidance process.The System also has the fuction of voice navigation and the driving routes can be displayed on the software platform when the car is driving. In the car autonomous driving process, the system will display the real-time and three-dimensional reconstruction of the surrounding environment.So that can be a real three-dimensional visual perception for the people. Reliable depth data is the key to the success of the system, so the Kinect depth data processing is the focus of this study. The application of the processed data to the autonomous driving system, and the path planning is another focus of this study.The car Autonomous Driving System which is tested by experiments could meet the basic requirements of the subject, has strong stability, and provides a reference for further expansion and development.
