AGV Guidance System: An Application of Simple Active Contour for Visual Tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a simple active contour based visual tracking algorithm is presented for outdoor AGV application which is currently under development at the USM robotic research group (URRG) lab. The presented algorithm is computationally low cost and able to track road boundaries in an image sequence and can easily be implemented on available low cost hardware. The proposed algorithm used an active shape modeling using the B-spline deformable template and recursive curve fitting method to track the current orientation of the road. Keywords—Active contour, B-spline, recursive curve fitting.

متن کاملIntegrating Colors, Shapes and Motions Using Active Contour Based Visual Tracking
ABSTRACT: The visual tracking is the major process in finding the spot of moving object over time using a camera. Object tracking is challenging task when the object moves fast relative to the frame rate. The active contour algorithm is used for tracking the object in a given frame of an image sequence. In videos particular object motion can be tracked by using stationary cameras but in moving ...
