Obstacle detection and avoidance plays a crucial role in autonomous navigation of unmanned ground vehicles. This becomes more challenging in off-road environments due to the higher probability of finding negative obstacles (e.g., holes, ditches, trenches, etc.) compared with on-road environments. One approach to solve this problem is to avoid the candidate path with a negative obstacle, but in off...
