A Segmentation System for Soccer Robot Based on Neural Networks

چکیده
An innovative technique for segmentation of color images is proposed. The technique implements an approach based on thresholding of the hue histogram. A new function for detecting valleys of the histogram has been devised and tested. A novel blurring algorithm for noise reduction that works effectively when used over hue image, has been employed. A feed-forward neural network that learns to recognize the hue ranges of meaningful objects completes the segmentation process. Experimental results show that the proposed technique is reliable and robust even in presence of changing environmental conditions. Extended experimentation has been carried on the framework of the Robot Soccer World Cup Initiative (RoboCup).

متن کاملMotion detection by a moving observer using Kalman filter and neural network in soccer robot
In many autonomous mobile applications, robots must be capable of analyzing motion of moving objects in their environment. Duringmovement of robot the quality of images is affected by quakes of camera which cause high errors in image processing outputs. In thispaper, we propose a novel method to effectively overcome this problem using Neural Networks and Kalman Filtering theory. Thistechnique u...
