Paper Abstract
There is currently an interest in developing mobile sensing platforms that fly indoors. The primary goal for these
platforms is to be able to successfully navigate a building under various lighting and environmental conditions. There
are numerous research challenges associated with this goal, one of which is the platform’s ability to detect and identify
the presence of transparent barriers. Transparent barriers could include windows, glass partitions, or skylights. For
example, in order to successfully navigate inside of a structure, these platforms will need to sense if a space contains a
transparent barrier and whether or not this space can be traversed. This project’s focus has been developing a multimodal
sensing system that can successfully identify such transparent barriers under various lighting conditions while
aboard a mobile platform. Along with detecting transparent barriers, this sensing platform is capable of distinguishing
between reflective, opaque, and transparent barriers. It will be critical for this system to be able to identify transparent
barriers in real-time in order for the navigation system to maneuver accordingly. The properties associated with the
interaction between various frequencies of light and transparent materials were one of the techniques leveraged to solve
this problem.
