Evaluation of the Wi-Fi technique for use in a navigated orthopedic surgery
Truhlář, Jindřich ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Provazník, Ivo (advisor)
Following text focuses on use of wireless technologies in OrthoPilot navigation system developed by B.Braun company. Description of OrthoPilot software is followed by overview of available wireless technologies highlighting their both advantages and disadvantages. Practical part consists of two main parts, mostly dealing with electronic circuits. First part describes development process of camera-wireless printed circuit board which substitutes currently used RS-422 cable connection between PC and stereo camera. Part of this chapter covers programming in C++ in order to make interface compatible with the rest of current OrthoPilot software. Second bigger part deals with remote controller development using prototyping board mikroMedia for XMEGA. Besides electrical circuits design, chapter describes also software part - microcontroller programming in C language. Thesis is concluded by discussing system limitations and ideas for future development.

Acquisition of inputs by image processing for controlling an autonomous vehicle
Midrla, Daniel ; Píštěk, Václav (referee) ; Kučera, Pavel (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with data acquisition by image processing in order to control an autonomous vehicle. Firstly, the thesis offers a summary of theoretical knowledge relevant to the given topic. Then follows a description of creating an algorithm, which acquires basic inputs for autonomous vehicle control with the use of a stereo camera and an object detection neural network. The inputs gained from this algorithm are the class of the detected object and its distance. Finally, an experimental evaluation of the correct functionality is performed with an emphasis on optimizing the accuracy and range of the distance computation. An assessment of the ability to deploy the created algorithm in real time on a compact computer with limited computing power is also performed.

LIDAR and Stereocamera in Localization of Mobile Robots
Vyroubalová, Jana ; Drahanský, Martin (referee) ; Orság, Filip (advisor)
LIDAR (2D) has been widely used for mapping, localization and navigation in mobile robotics. However, its usage is limited to simple environments. This problem can be solved by adding more sensors and processing these data together. This paper explores a method how measurements from a stereo camera and LIDAR are fused to dynamical mapping. An occupancy grid map from LIDAR data is used as prerequisite and extended by a 2D grid map from stereo camera. This approach is based on the ground plane estimation in disparity map acquired from the stereo vision. For the ground plane detection, RANSAC and Least Squares methods are used. After obstacles determination, 2D occupancy map is generated. The output of this method is 2D map as a fusion of complementary maps from LIDAR and camera. Experimental results obtained from RUDA robot and MIT Stata Center Data Set are good enough to determine that this method is a benefit, although my implementation is still a prototype. In this paper, we present the applied methods, analyze the results and discuss the modifications and possible extensions to get better results.

3D scene reconstruction using passive camera strereo-pair
Fronc, Leoš ; Zatočilová, Aneta (referee) ; Hurník, Jakub (advisor)
This bachelor thesis presents an overview of current methods for the 3D reconstruction of the scene using a passive stereo camera. Two main approaches are described and compared in this thesis – the feature points triangulation and the disparity map. The following methods are described below and compared with their qualities. On the basis of this comparison, conclusions are drawn about the choice of suitable approaches and methods for specific applications. Finally, a simple example is created which illustrates the use of these methods in practice.

Ensuring Precision of Stereo Image Processing
Kuník, Oliver ; Španěl, Michal (referee) ; Zemčík, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the possibilities of refining the results of stereo image processing and examines the methods of stereo image stabilization. Proposes a method of stabilizing the stereo recording with respect to the designated reference stereo image to keep the images in the calibration position of the camera. An affine transformation is used to eliminate the movement of stereo images. The positions of the corner points found with subpixel precision are used for calculating the transformation. This thesis includes a comparison of the stabilization efficiency of a stereo record intended for vehicle speed measurements.

Evaluation of Methods of Stereo Image Processing
Juráček, Ivo ; Španěl, Michal (referee) ; Zemčík, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis addresses the correlation between two pictures and its application to a real example using a camera which is a part of a stereo camera. It suggests how to use correlation to find specific patterns in pictures whereas it is possible to calculate the movement between two scaled pictures which is done by resampling. The accuracy of correlation is then shown when pictures are compensated using affine transformation in order to verify the accuracy of correlation. To further increase the correlation accuracy, it is possible to use a corner detector, it finds main points in a shot and then it searches for a match in another shot using correlation. Final results using this method are also mentioned in this thesis.

System for autonomous racetrack mapping
Soboňa, Tomáš ; Gábrlík, Petr (referee) ; Kopečný, Lukáš (advisor)
The focus of this thesis is to theoretically design, describe, implement and verify thefunctionality of the selected concept for race track mapping. The theoretical part ofthe thesis describes the ORB-SLAM2 algorithm for vehicle localization. It then furtherdescribes the format of the map - occupancy grid and the method of its creation. Suchmap should be in a suitable format for use by other trajectory planning systems. Severalcameras, as well as computer units, are described in this part, and based on parametersand tests, the most suitable ones are selected. The thesis also proposes the architectureof the mapping system, it describes the individual units that make up the system, aswell as what is exchanged between the units, and in what format the system output issent. The individual parts of the system are first tested separately and subsequently thesystem is tested as a whole. Finally, the achieved results are evaluated as well as thepossibilities for further expansion.

Dražil, Jan ; Raichl, Petr (referee) ; Novotný, Josef (advisor)
This thesis deals with methods for the problem of navigation and movement of autonomous vehicles between obstacles. The thesis first describes in general terms algorithms for motion planning and obstacle avoidance. Then, the thesis discusses the PX4 firmware for UAV control. The thesis proposes a custom obstacle avoidance algorithm designed for UAVs. The sensor used for obstacle detection is a stereo camera. This algorithm was implemented in Python using the ROS framework and tested in the Gazebo simulation environment. The results are discussed.
