Dynamic World Modeling Using Vertical Line Stereo

This paper describes a real time 3-D vision system which uses stereo matching of vertical edge segments. The system is designed to permit a mobile robot to avoid obstacles and to position itself within an indoor environment. The system uses real time edge tracking to lock onto stereo matches. Stereo matching is performed using a global version of dynamic programming for matching stereo segments.
