| Summary: | In our high-tech society, robots are being used for more and more
applications, from mundane household chores, to dangerous military
missions, and even precise medical operations. Autonomous vehicles can
be considered a kind of robot. For all of these applications, it is crucial that
the robot is able to ‘see’. This project aims to detect targets surrounding a
robot, and identify their state (bearing), thereby giving robots some form of
‘sight’. With the aid of a camera, images are obtained, and an algorithm is
developed to process and extract information from them. This algorithm is
tested on multiple targets, in multiple position (around), and at various
distances from the camera. A software package for target detection and
bearing estimation was also developed. |
