Terrain sensing

A method and apparatus for terrain sensing that obtains data (104) from at least one sensor onboard a vehicle. The sensor data is used to generate data representing a surface defined by a set of control points. Gradient information is then generated by computing a gradient of the surface for at leas...

Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for terrain sensing that obtains data (104) from at least one sensor onboard a vehicle. The sensor data is used to generate data representing a surface defined by a set of control points. Gradient information is then generated by computing a gradient of the surface for at least one query point, and the gradient information is converted into a local frame coordinate system for the vehicle.
