A vehicle implementation of a color following system using the CMUcam3

Abstract

By creating a center of mass for a specific color, color tracking, and controlling servos relative to the distance from the center of mass, the CMUcam3 and Gears SMP robotics platform can be used to build a color tracking system to autonomously track a certain color within the Y'CrCb color range. Using pulse-width modulation arrays to control the servomechanic DC motors, a control system based on mean image data can be implemented to steer and direct an autonomous CMUcam3 driven vehicle platform.
