Abstract
This paper proposes an obstacle avoidance trajectory generation method that provides a smooth trajectory in real time. The trajectory is generated from an environmental top-view image, where a fisheye lens is used to capture a wide area at low height. Corners of the obstacles are detected and corrected using the log-polar transform and are used to generate a simple configuration space that reduces the computation time. An optimal path is computed by using the A
