There are several schemes for navigating no-pilot vehicles. Among them, the control of vehicles under a supervisory vision system is a simple and flexible one. In this paper, a design of such vehicle system is presented. The human operator can easily specify the planned route of the vehicle interactively on a monitor which shows the site image taken by the supervisory camera. Our design allows the user to specify the route, the dwelling time at each stop along the route, and the multi-route, multi-vehicle scheduling. In addition to the human-machine interface, several vision techniques used to achieve real-time vehicle locating together with the image-to-world coordinate transformation are also presented.
