Distilling Global Traversability Priors for Image-based Affordance Prediction in Off-road Environments

Matthew Sivaprakasam, Samuel Triest, Micah Nye +5

Standard methods for autonomous navigation in unstructured terrain are prone to myopic behaviors in long-horizon scenarios. The use of metric maps built from LiDAR or cameras provi…
