Obstacle avoidance is a key problem required in the mobile robot navigation technology. In this paper, we build up a 3D environment in an intelligent surveillance robot through registration of point clouds and present a method to deal with the obstacle avoidance problem. Firstly, the framework of the intelligent robot is given. Then we register the point clouds from an RGB-D Kinect by applying an...
Crossing a door is usually a necessary action for autonomous patrol of an indoor surveillance robot. However, it is difficult for a large robot to cross narrow doors. In this paper, a method for detecting, locating and crossing a door for an indoor surveillance robot with Kinect is presented. Firstly, doors are detected and located based on RGB-D data collected form Kinect. Then, the conversion between...
For surveillance robots, road detection is of high importance for other functionalities such as pedestrian detection, obstacle avoidance, autonomous running, etc. The vision-based road detection is to classify image pixels belonging to road surface or not. Up to now, most algorithms are designed for working during daytime. In this paper, we focus on road detection at night. Firstly a planar reflection...
Household security becomes more and more important with the growth of aged population. A surveillance robot is a potential solution for this issue. In this paper, we present a novel household surveillance robot with human recognition. Since a master-slaver structure and efficient interfaces are used for its hardware, this robot can always make prompt response to the outside information, even though...
In this paper, an integrated video surveillance system for robust tracking is introduced. In the blob detection part, an optical flow algorithm for crowded environment is studied experimentally and a comparison study with respect to traditional subtraction approach is carried out. In the segmentation part, different algorithms are fused to develop a hybrid algorithm for stable segmentation, and validation...
