SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SURFACE FEATURE DETECTION AND TRAVERSAL

There is described a method for navigating at least one substantially discontinuous surface feature (SDSF) encountered by a transport device (TD), the TD traveling a path over a surface, the surface including the at least one SDSF, the path including a starting point and an ending point, the method...

Zusammenfassung:	There is described a method for navigating at least one substantially discontinuous surface feature (SDSF) encountered by a transport device (TD), the TD traveling a path over a surface, the surface including the at least one SDSF, the path including a starting point and an ending point, the method comprising: accessing point cloud data representing the surface; forming the point cloud data into processable parts; merging the processable parts into at least one concave polygon; locating and labeling the at least one SDSF in the at least one concave polygon, the locating and labeling forming labeled point cloud data; creating graphing polygons based at least on the at least one concave polygon; and choosing the path from the starting point to the ending point based at least on the graphing polygons, the TD traversing the at least one SDSF along the path.
