基于彩色图像边缘差分的运动目标检测算法

针对目前常用的运动目标提取易受到噪声影响、易出现阴影和误检漏检等情况,提出了一种基于Sobel算子的彩色边缘图像检测和帧差分相结合的检测方法。首先用Sobel算子提取视频流中连续4帧图像的彩色边缘图像,然后将边缘图像进行隔帧差分相与,提取出较精确的运动目标边缘轮廓。提取的轮廓经过一系列的形态学操作填充,可得到完整的运动目标。实验结果表明,该方法对运动目标边缘轮廓提取准确,抗噪能力强,且鲁棒性好。     

Detection and tracking for robotic visual servoing systems

Robot manipulators require knowledge about their environment in order to perform their desired actions. In several robotic tasks, vision sensors play a critical role by providing the necessary quantity and quality of information regarding the robot's environment. For example, “visual servoing” algorithms may control a robot manipulator in order to track moving objects that are being imaged by a camera. Current visual servoing systems often lack the ability to detect automatically objects that appear within the camera's field of view. In this research, we present a robust “figureiground” framework for visually detecting objects of interest. An important contribution of this research is a collection of optimization schemes that allow the detection framework to operate within the real-time limits of visual servoing systems. The most significant of these schemes involves the use of “spontaneous” and “continuous” domains. The number and location of continuous domains are. allowed to change over time, adjusting to the dynamic conditions of the detection process. We have developed actual servoing systems in order to test the framework's feasibility and to demonstrate its usefulness for visually controlling a robot manipulator.
