This paper presents a novel encoding method for scene change detection and appearance-based topological localization framework. The relation computation over convex hull points is used to compare the similarity between the scenes. It relies on the relative ordering of the feature strength, not directly on the feature vectors. We first deal with multiple convex hulls over the detected features and...
This paper presents a visual surveillance system for mobile robots using omnidirectional and PTZ cameras. By combining the advantages of these two types of cameras, it provides not only the surveillance of the surrounding area of the robot, but also observe every corner of the indoor environment. Furthermore, the system is mounted on a mobile robot platform, which is able to move around the environment...
This paper presents a practical optimization procedure for object detection and recognition algorithms. It is suitable for object recognition using a catadioptric omnidirectional vision system mounted on a mobile robot. We use the SIFT descriptor to obtain image features of the objects and the environment. First, sample object images are given for training and optimization procedures. Bayesian classification...
In this paper, we propose a self-localization and path-planning method for mobile robot navigation. An omnidirectional camera and infrared sensors are used to extract the landmarks information of the environment. Due to the large field of view of the omnidirectional camera, the mobile robot can capture the rich information of the environment. The landmark features are detected and extracted from the...
Video surveillance, object tracking and activity monitoring are some of the important issues for a home-care robotic system. In this work, an omnidirectional video camera is adopted to provide a 360 degree view angle of the indoor scene with a single image sequence. Some basic functions for smart living and elderly care, such as motion detection, object tracking and target behavior analysis, are implemented...
