1. A method for unattended detection of a current terrain to be traversed by a mobile device, comprising the steps of:
- receiving, from a visual sensor, visual input of the current terrain for a plurality of positions;
receiving audio input corresponding to the current terrain for the plurality of positions;
fusing the video input with the audio input using a classifier; and
classifying the type of the terrain with the classifier.

Abstract
A computer implemented method for unattended detection of a current terrain to be traversed by a mobile device is disclosed. Visual input of the current terrain is received for a plurality of positions. Audio input corresponding to the current terrain is received for the plurality of positions. The video input is fused with the audio input using a classifier. The type of the current terrain is classified with the classifier. The classifier may also be employed to predict the type of terrain proximal to the current terrain. The classifier is constructed using an expectation-maximization (EM) method.
