Definition

Nowadays, many databases in GIS are outdated. In order to update these GIS data, vision systems on robots, cars, airplanes, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are used to update a map of unknown environment while simultaneously tracking their own positions within it. In this simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) task, feature detection and tracking are the key steps to process the image sequences captured by the cameras. These updated databases in GIS can be used as a prior map in the booming autonomous vehicle area. Many car manufacturers including Ford Motor Company have demonstrated their self-driving cars. For semiautonomous vehicle, feature detection and tracking based system supports a driver in different situations, such as obstacle warning system, lane departure warning system, parking assist system, adaptive cruise control system, etc. Fully autonomous vehicle typically...
