A Real-Time and Effective Object Recognition and Localization Method

Abstract

In this paper, we realize object recognition and localization in a real time based on appearance features of object. For object recognition, we proposed to use global feauture (color) of images, and with an improved color image segmentation algorithm to realize threshold segmentation based on pixels in the image’s HSV color model by using the tool OpenCV, so we can realize the special color object recognition. Further the object can be localized with the ground constrained method by using the camera perspective geometry model. In the lab conditions, we realized single color object recognition and localization by transplanting the algorithm into Amigobots mobile robot and proved this method is simple, effective and real-time.
