Sidewalk Following Using Color Histograms
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present the development of an algorithm for sidewalk following for a mobile robot. The algorithm classifies pixels of a video frame as either sidewalk or background. The classification of pixels is performed using color histograms of the hue and saturation of various areas of an image taken by an on-board camera. This color histogram approach allows the algorithm to detect and follow concrete paved areas of arbitrary shape and color. The development of the algorithm is performed using a robotics research platform developed by undergraduate students at Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo.

Color scene transform between images using Rosenfeld-Kak histogram matching method
In digital color imaging, it is of interest to transform the color scene of an image to the other. Some attempts have been done in this case using, for example, lαβ color space, principal component analysis and recently histogram rescaling method. In this research, a novel method is proposed based on the Resenfeld and Kak histogram matching algorithm. It is suggested that to transform the color...

We describe the CMU Sidewalk Navigation System, which can drive a vehicle in the outdoor environment of the CMU campus. The system includes all modules necessary for outdoor navigation .. modules for route planning, local path planning, vehicle driving, perception, and map data. The perception module uses sensor fusion with color and rage data to analyze complex outdoor scenes accurately and ef...
متن کاملAn efficient similarity indexing by ordering permutations for Spatial Multi - Resolution images
244 Abstract— Color histogram is one of the common techniques used in image retrieval systems. However, the main problem with color histogram indexing is that it does not take the color spatial distribution into consideration. In this paper, we introduce the local histograms to describe the spatial information of colors, even though, a single local histograms is not enough for efficient and rob...

This supplementary material provides additional illustrations, visualizations and experiments. We start by showing the color coding and label mapping used for the semantic and instance label results in the paper. Then we provide more details about the 3D fold/curb detection and parameter settings that are used in the paper. Next, we provide additional quantitative and qualitative semi-dense inf...
متن کاملUsing Adaptive Thresholds for Automatic Video Cut Detection
This paper presents some automatic shot detection techniques based on color histograms and also on multiresolution histograms. The approaches tested in the submitted runs are mainly focused on cut detection. The main goal of the runs is to study the behaviour of color histogram differences as a first step in the use of multiresolution color histograms into the adaptive threshold algorithm. Some...
