Vision-Based Human Directed Robot Guidance

VISION-BASED HUMAN DIRECTED ROBOT GUIDANCE Richard B. Arthur Department of Computer Science Master of Science This paper describes methods to track a user-defined point in the vision of a robot as it drives forward. This tracking allows a robot to keep itself directed at that point while driving so that it can get to that user-defined point. I develop and present two new multi-scale algorithms for tracking arbitrary points between two frames of video, as well as through a video sequence. The multi-scale algorithms do not use the traditional pyramid image, but instead use a data structure called an integral image (also known as a summed area table). The first algorithm uses edge-detection to track the movement of the tracking point between frames of video. The second algorithm uses a modified version of the Moravec operator to track the movement of the tracking point between frames of video. Both of these algorithms can track the user-specified point very quickly. Implemented on a conventional desktop, tracking can proceed at a rate of at least 20 frames per second.
