The proposed method of a Hybrid Artificial Neural Network Avoidance System is called HANNAS. The ANN analyses a video stream and classifies the current environment. This information about the current Environment is used to set several control parameters of a conventional local path planner, the 3DVFH*. The local path planner then plans the path toward a specific goal point based on distance data from a depth camera. We trained and tested a state-of-the-art image segmentation algorithm, PP-LiteSeg. The proposed HANNAS method reaches a failure probability of 17\%, which is less than half the failure probability of the baseline and around half the failure probability of an improved, bio-inspired version of the 3DVFH*. The proposed HANNAS method does not show any disadvantages regarding flight time or flight distance.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HavermannSeilerHenning2010, author = {Havermann, Marc and Seiler, F. and Henning, P.}, title = {Shock Tunnel Experiments and CFD Simulation of Lateral Jet Interaction in Hypersonic Flows}, series = {New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics VII; Contributions to the 16th STAB/DGLR Symposium Aachen, Germany 2008}, booktitle = {New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics VII; Contributions to the 16th STAB/DGLR Symposium Aachen, Germany 2008}, editor = {Dillmann, Andreas and Heller, Gerd and Klaas, Michael and Kreplin, Hans-Peter and Nitsche, Wolfgang and Schr{\"o}der, Wolfgang}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {9783642142437}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-14243-7_45}, pages = {365 -- 372}, year = {2010}, language = {en} }
