An Adaptive Color Segmentation Algorithm for Sony Legged Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an adaptive colour segmentation algorithm for Sony legged robots to play a football game. A Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is adopted to measure the current lighting condition and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is implemented to produce a suitable General Color Detection (GCD) table. Off-line learning is conducted in color segmentation in order for Sony-legged robots to adapt to lighting changes in the real world. Experimental results show the good performance of the proposed segmentation algorithm.

A New Video Rate Region Color Segmentation and Classification for Sony Legged RoboCup Application
Whereas numerous methods are used for vision systems embedded on robots, only a few use colored region segmentation mainly because of the processing time. In this paper, we propose a real-time (i.e. video rate) color region segmentation followed by a robust color classification and region merging dedicated to various applications such as RoboCup four-legged league or an industrial conveyor whee...

متن کاملRobust Color Segmentation for the RoboCup Domain
Color segmentation is crucial in robotic applications, such as RoboCup, where the relevant objects can be distinguished by their color. In these applications, real-time performance and robustness are primary concerns. We present a hybrid method for color segmentation based on seeded region growing (SRG) in which the initial seeds are provided by a conservative threshold color segmentation. The ...
