Real-time people tracking for mobile robots using thermal vision

Real-time people tracking for mobile robots using thermal vision

This paper presents a vision-based approach for tracking people on a mobile robot using thermal images. The approach combines a particle filter with two alternative measurement models that are suitable for real-time tracking. With this approach a person can be detected independently from current light conditions and in situations where no skin colour is visible. In addition, the paper presents ...

Fuzzy Motion Control for Wheeled Mobile Robots in Real-Time

Due to various advantages of Wheeled Mobile Robots (WMRs), many researchers have focused to solve their challenges. The automatic motion control of such robots is an attractive problem and is one of the issues which should carefully be examined. In the current paper, the trajectory tracking problem of WMRs which are actuated by two independent electrical motors is deliberated. To this end, and ...

Real-time face tracking and recognition using the mobile robots

Vision System Design for Mobile Robots Tracking

In the paper a global vision scheme applied to fast dynamic game robot soccer is presented. The process of robots positions and orientations estimation is divided into two steps. In the first, the incoming image is scanned and pixels are classified into a finite number of classes. At the same time, a segmentation algorithm is used to find corresponding regions belonging to one of the classes. I...

Robust and accurate global vision system for real time tracking of multiple mobile robots

This paper presents a new global vision system for tracking of multiple mobile robots. To the best knowledge of the authors it outperforms all existing global vision systems with respect to measurement precision and accuracy, high speed and real time operation and reliable tracking of large (theoretically unlimited) number of robots under light intensity changes. The originality of the proposed...
