Hear how the Virginia Tech Mechatronics Lab is establishing a database of rural scenes that autonomous ground vehicles encounter. Researchers created a sensor platform to capture both LIDAR and multispectral electro-optical data using a Windows OS. They supplemented this platform with an ARM target capable of capturing secondary data such as scene location, heading, and temperature. They used LabVIEW to communicate with the sensor platform and ARM target for data acquisition and database accumulation.
