Adaptive Arc Fitting for Ball Detection in RoboCup
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an edge-based ball detection system for use in RoboCup robots. The algorithm can be economically coded for real-time operation in integer maths digital signal processing units. It allows colour dependencies in existing ball detection algorithms to be relaxed. This work is undertaken as part of the world-wide RoboCup project which aims to stimulate robot development by investigating difficult test problems.

Adaptive Field Detection and Localization in Robot Soccer
Major rule updates for the RoboCup Standard Platform League (SPL) in recent years pose significant perception challenges for recognizing objects with similar color. Despite the frequent color changes to goalpost, soccer ball and jerseys, the soccer field itself remains unaffected, which makes green the only reliable color feature that can be exploited. In this paper, we propose an efficient app...
متن کاملReal-Time Adaptive Colour Segmentation for the RoboCup Middle Size League
In order to detect objects using colour information, the mapping from points in colour space to the most likely object must be known. This work proposes an adaptive colour calibration based on the Bayes Theorem and chrominance histograms. Furthermore the object’s shape is considered resulting in a more robust classification. A randomised hough transform is employed for the ball. The lines of th...
متن کاملA Novel Approach to Ball Detection for Humanoid Robot Soccer
The ability to accurately track a ball is a critical issue in humanoid robot soccer, made difficult by processor limitations and resultant inability to process all available data from a high-definition image. This paper proposes a computationally efficient method of determining position and size of balls in a RoboCup environment, and compares the performance to two common methods: one utilising...
متن کاملEffective Mechatronic Models and Methods for Implementation an Autonomous Soccer Robot
Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, Omni directional navigation system, Omni-vision system and solenoid kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensi...
متن کاملFast Color-Independent Ball Detection for Mobile Robots
This paper presents a novel scheme for fast color invariant ball detection in the RoboCup context. Edge filtered camera images serve as an input for an Ada Boost learning procedure that constructs a cascade of classification and regression trees (CARTs). Our system is capable to detect different soccer balls in the RoboCup and other environments. The resulting approach for object classification...
