Vislab无人车的丝绸之路
上海世博会再有50天就开幕了，意大利的VisLab将以一项壮举参与此次世博会：VisLab将用两辆无人驾驶的，主要由太阳能驱动的汽车货车，从意大利罗马长途奔袭到上海！
关于这两辆无人车：
Two electric vehicles will perform a 13,000 km trip mainly powered by solar energy, with no driver; two backup vehicles will be part of the trip as well. As a support, 4 Overland trucks will follow the expedition to provide a mechanic shop, storage, and accommodation; finally two additional trucks will be used for media coverage and will be equipped for live satellite broadcasting.
The first vehicle will drive autonomously in selected sections of the trip and will conduct experimental tests on sensing, decision, and control subsystems, and willcontinuously collect data. Although limited, human interventions will be needed to define the route and intervene in critical situations.
The second vehicle will automatically follow the route defined by the preceding vehicle, requiring no human intervention (100% autonomous). This will be regarded as a readily exploitable vehicle, able to move on predefined routes; at the end of the trip, its technology will be transferred to a set of vehicles to move in the inner part of Rome in the close future.
During the trip, demonstrations will be performed in specific hot spots; autonomous vehicles will follow given routes, negotiating traffic, avoiding obstacles, and stopping when required. The first demonstration was held in Rome at the EUR district on October 29, 2009, when Rome’s Major, Gianni Alemanno, officially presented this challenge. More information on the presentation can be found in the official press release.
关于VisLab：
The Artificial Vision and Intelligent Systems Laboratory (VisLab) of Parma University (Italy) is involved in basic and applied research developing machine vision algorithms and intelligent systems for the automotive field.
It undertakes research in many disciplines like machine vision, pattern recognition, low-level image processing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, and real-time systems, but the main focus of the laboratory is to apply basic and advanced research to intelligent transportation systems and intelligent vehicles.
The laboratory know-how is world renown and was mainly developed together with automotive companies for active/passive safety systems,Advanced Driver Assistance Systems,perception of the automotive environment, up tocompletely automatic vehicle driving. Some examples are: lane detection, vehicle detection, pedestrian detection, obstacle localization, sensor fusion with radar and laserscanner, night vision, start inhibit. The know-how includes: monocular, stereo, trinocular, up to tetra-vision systems, using daylight, Near Infrared, Far Infrared cameras; analog and digital cameras.
