Distributed Visual Servoing of a Mobile Robot for Surveillance Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mobile robot intercepts a target identified in the image plane of a fixed camera without prior knowledge of camera viewpoint or geometry. The target may be identified manually or autonomously. When the robot moves within the camera image plane, the system develops a table of mappings between the image plane and the ground plane in which the robot moves. The robot is identified in the image plane via background subtraction and localized in the ground plane using a particle filter. This adds the potential for robotic intervention to surveillance using fixed camera systems.

Using orthogonal visual servoing errors for classifying terrain
A novel, centimeter-scale crawling robot has been developed to address applications in surveillance, search-and-rescue, and planetary exploration. This places constraints on size and durability that minimizes the mechanism. As a result, a dual-use design employing two arms for both manipulation and locomotion was conceived. In a complementary fashion, this paper investigates the dual-use of vis...

متن کاملNonholonomic mobile robot visual servoing: a multirate digital approach
A multirate strategy for the control of a nonholonomic mobile robot using a visual servoing approach is presented. Such a control is based on a mathematical model computed using two virtual image features. The proposed multirate digital control technique guarantees their presence in the camera field of view during all the robot motion. The absence of obstacles in the robot configuration space i...

Visual servoing can be useful for a wide range of applications and it can be used to control many different dynamic systems (manipulator arms, mobile robots, aircraft, etc.). Visu...
متن کاملRobust Features Tracking for Robotic Applications: Towards 2½ D Visual Servoing with Natural Images
This paper concerns the robust tracking of some features extracted from a sequence of images taken with an uncalibrated camera mounted on a mobile robot. Unlike most vision systems, the 3D structure of the observed objects is completely unknown. Thus, position-based visual servoing cannot be used. Similarly, one must be careful when using image-based visual servoing since the depths of the feat...
