Abstract: | A function of image recognition is indispensable to an intelligent robot which can coexist with a human being. Furthermore, the intelligent robot needs to understand the environment of their action range by getting information of characters and maps on advertisements and signboards in order to move autonomously. In this research, a method to search the route from the starting point to the destination on a guidance map, by extracting the road area on the map and revising degradation portions because of overlapping with characters or other figures is proposed. And the validity of this method is shown by the experiment using maps which were collected from advertisements or pamphlets. |
