Abstract
The paper presents an approach to reactive navigation in
cross-country terrains. The approach relies on a particular
probabilistic obstacle detection procedure, that describes the area
perceived by a pair of stereo cameras as a set of polygonal cells. To
generate the motion commands on the basis of this terrain description,
we present some improvements and adaptations to the classical potential
fields technique. Results on real stereo data illustrate our
contribution throughout the paper, and simulated long range traverses
are discussed
