Summary:A complete panoramic imaging, processing and autonomous navigation
stratagem is presented. New techniques for filtering panoramic images
are developed to allow rangefinding and image filtering. The technique
utilises the motion of the autonomous agent to compute range visually.
Using the range data, a safe path through the environment is found. Each
stage of processing requires novel approaches to processing and
interpreting panoramic images. The entire system was tested in an
artificial environment using a robotic gantry and a model terrain
