Abstract

An ability to predict collisions is essential for current vehicles and autonomous robots. In this paper, an integrated collision predication system is proposed based on neural subsystems inspired from Lobula giant movement detector (LGMD) and directional selective neurons (DSNs) which focus on different part of the visual field separately. The two type of neurons found in the visual pathways of insects respond most strongly to moving objects with preferred motion patterns, i.e., the LGMD prefers looming stimuli and DSNs prefer specific lateral movements. We fuse the extracted information by each type of neurons to make final decision. By dividing the whole field of view into four regions for each subsystem to process, the proposed approaches can detect hazardous situations that had been difficult for single subsystem only. Our experiments show that the integrated system works in most of the hazardous scenarios.
