| Abstract | Legged robots need to be able to classify and recognize different terrains to adapt their gait accordingly. Recent works in terrain classification use different types of sensors (like stereovision, 3D laser range, and tactile sensors) and their combination. However, such sensor systems require more computing power, produce extra load to legged robots, and/or might be difficult to install on a small size legged robot. In this work, we present an online terrain classification system. It uses only a monocular camera with a feature-based terrain classification algorithm which is robust to changes in illumination and view points. For this algorithm, we extract local features of terrains using either Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) or Speed Up Robust Feature (SURF). We encode the features using the Bag of Words (BoW) technique, and then classify the words using Support Vector Machines (SVMs) with a radial basis function kernel. We compare this feature-based approach with a color-based approach on the Caltech-256 benchmark as well as eight different terrain image sets (grass, gravel, pavement, sand, asphalt, floor, mud, and fine gravel). For terrain images, we observe up to 90% accuracy with the feature-based approach. Finally, this online terrain classification system is successfully applied to our small hexapod robot AMOS II. The output of the system providing terrain information is used as an input to its neural locomotion control to trigger an energy-efficient gait while traversing different terrains. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
