Abstract

Intersection detection is a critical capacity for an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) to drive safely in structured urban environment. Large-scale intersections stamped on maps have plenty of features for detection while some unmapped small-scale urban intersections are hard to be identified. In this paper, we propose a novel intersection detection method conducted on the basis of Hidden Markov Model (HMM). This method is based on the intersection scan model to obtain the traversable directions to classify the intersection. The scan model is effective in dealing with both LIDAR and visual data. Combination of the scan model and the HMM can accurately estimate the traversable directions in consideration of both real-time and historic data. Results from simulations and real-world experiments have shown the functionality of the presented approach.
