A Low Cost Ground Truth Detection System for RoboCup Using the Kinect
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ground truth detection systems can be a crucial step in evaluating and improving algorithms for self-localization on mobile robots. Selecting a ground truth system depends on its cost, as well as on the detail and accuracy of the information it provides. In this paper, we present a low cost, portable and real-time solution constructed using the Microsoft Kinect RGB-D Sensor. We use this system to find the location of robots and the orange ball in the Standard Platform League (SPL) environment in the RoboCup competition. This system is fairly easy to calibrate, and does not require any special identifiers on the robots. We also provide a detailed experimental analysis to measure the accuracy of the data provided by this system. Although presented for the SPL, this system can be adapted for use with any indoor structured environment where ground truth information is required.

Kinect skeleton tracker is able to achieve considerable human body tracking performance in convenient and a low-cost manner. However, The tracker often captures unnatural human poses such as discontinuous and vibrated motions when self-occlusions occur. A majority of approaches tackle this problem by using multiple Kinect sensors in a workspace. Combination of the measurements from different se...

متن کاملSemi-Automatic Image Labelling Using Depth Information
Image labeling tools help to extract objects within images to be used as ground truth for learning and testing in object detection processes. The inputs for such tools are usually RGB images. However with new widely available low-cost sensors like Microsoft Kinect it is possible to use depth images in addition to RGB images. Despite many existing powerful tools for image labeling, there is a ne...
متن کاملDetection of Aerial Balls Using a Kinect Sensor
Detection of objects in the air is a difficult problem to tackle given the dynamics and speed of a flying object. The problem is even more difficult when considering a non-controlled environment where the predominance of a given color is not guaranteed, and/or when the vision system is located on a moving platform. As an example, most of the Middle Size League teams in RoboCup competition detec...
متن کاملNew Lower-Limb Gait Asymmetry Indices Based on a Depth Camera
BACKGROUND Various asymmetry indices have been proposed to compare the spatiotemporal, kinematic and kinetic parameters of lower limbs during the gait cycle. However, these indices rely on gait measurement systems that are costly and generally require manual examination, calibration procedures and the precise placement of sensors/markers on the body of the patient. METHODS To overcome these i...
