Integrating Automated Object Detection into Mapping in USARSim

چکیده
Object recognition is a well studied field of computer vision, and has been applied with success to a variety of robotics applications. However, little research has been done towards applying pattern recognition techniques to robotic search and rescue. This paper describes the development of an object recognition system for robotic search and rescue within the USARSim simulator, based on the algorithm of Viola and Jones. After an introduction to the specifics of the object recognition method used, we give a general overview of how we integrate our real-time object recognition into our controller software. Work so far has focused on victims’ heads (frontal and profile views) as well as common objects such as chairs and plants. We compare the results of our detection system with those of USARSim’s existing simulated victim sensor, and discuss the relevance to real search and rescue robot systems.

In this article a new method is introduced for distinguishing roots and background based on their digital curvelet transform in minirhizotron images. In the proposed method, the nonlinear mapping is applied on sub-band curvelet components followed by boundary detection using energy optimization concept. The curvelet transform has the excellent capability in detecting roots with different orient...
متن کامل3D Scene and Object Classification Based on Information Complexity of Depth Data
In this paper the problem of 3D scene and object classification from depth data is addressed. In contrast to high-dimensional feature-based representation, the depth data is described in a low dimensional space. In order to remedy the curse of dimensionality problem, the depth data is described by a sparse model over a learned dictionary. Exploiting the algorithmic information theory, a new def...
متن کاملExtraction of Coastline in Aquaculture Coast from Multispectral Remote Sensing Images: Object-Based Region Growing Integrating Edge Detection
Aquaculture coasts have become widely distributed in coastal zones as human activities are intensified. Due to the complexity in this type of coast, it is difficult to extract the coastline with traditional automated mapping approaches. In this paper, we present an automated method—object-based region growing integrating edge detection (OBRGIE) for the extraction of this type of coastline. In t...
