Abstract:
Intelligent vehicles have to perceive their environment in order to navigate and avoid collision. This capability is
also important in other applications such as mobile robot navigation, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for
automated material handling, intelligent transportation systems, rescue operations in natural disasters, and wildlife
observation. Since angular rotations of the moving vehicle deteriorate the quality of the image, cameras have to be
mounted on a stabilized platform. Further control is required if the cameras are expected to keep looking at an object
of interest irrespective of the vehicle's translational motion. This paper describes designing a monocular vision, system
kinematics, and dynamics analysis. Simulation results are also presente
