This report describes research performed during the first two years on the project Vision-Based Navigation for Autonomous Vehicles being conducted under DARPA support. The report contains discussion of four main topics: (1) Development of a vision system for autonomous navigation of roads and road network. (2) Support of Martin Marietta Aerospace, Denver, the integrating contractor on DARPA's ALV program. (3) Experimentation with the vision system developed at Maryland on the Martin Marietta ALV, and (4) Development and implementation of parallel algorithms for visual navigation on the parallel computers developed under the DARPA Strategic Computing Program--specifically, the WARP systolic array processor, the Butterfly, and the Connection Machine.
