138 Design of Vision Based Control Algorithms It is commonly accepted that over 80% of all perceptual information being received by human brain is perceived through eyes. It is natural for control algorithms developers to try to utilize the information as it is done by both human and animal brains. Vision information can be utilized not only for control a single device but also for controlling a group of e.g. mobile robots. Control algorithm based on vision may allow remote control of an object. One might image a mechanical arm mimicking movements of a human arm basing solely on vision information. Design of such concepts and systems is important for a variety of fields like medicine, military and commercial applications. Recently human-machine interfaces are becoming more and more important of everyday life. Vision based systems are an important part of such systems. When a group of people communicate via each other in harsh weather conditions when there is no possibility to communicate via voice, gestures might be used. Systems recognizing gestures in order to send commands to a group of UAVs might significantly improve the quality of utilization of such systems. An alternative approach is to use aerial vision information for controlling detected and recognized objects on the ground. Video stream acquired from UAVs has to be stabilized and undistorted in order to acquire precise information sufficient for control. In order to perform distortion compensation some kind of calibration has to be previously done. There are various types of calibration e.g. using planar or nonplanar calibration rigs. Different type of calibration might use relative optical flow information in order to establish calibration from motion. After radial and tangential distortion compensation ground objects can be located and their orientation might me estimated. Real applications require to compensate for much more challenging factors like intensity and type of illumination or acquisition noise due to e.g. high temperature of the video acquisition device surroundings. Another application of vision based control algorithms is navigation of UAV in an unknown dynamically changing environment. One might assume that geodesic terrain map is sufficient for navigation. Unfortunately such maps might be outdated and some tall buildings might not be included. At the same time flora is usually also not taken into consideration during creation of such maps. Finally, there might be some other UAVs or manned flying units in a local environment of UAV that needs to be omitted in order to successfully perform the mission of controlled UAV. Planning a mission using a 3D maps is a challenging problem increasing exponentially with the resolution of the map and the number of waypoints of UAV. Therefore there is a need to simplify the process in order to allow navigation in a dynamically changing environments. An important part of image processing is image stabilization. It is basically divided into three approaches: mechanical, optical and digital stabilization. Stabilization can be used in optoelectronic gimbal mounted on board of manned objects or unmanned vehicles (UGVs and UAVs). Generally it is desirable to apply stabilization to all cases when deterioration of image quality is perceived due to low and high frequencies. The chapter includes a number of important challenges in the fields mentioned above. At the same time valuable suggestions and conclusions of authors are presented. Finally, designed algorithms are presented and discussed in detail.
Vision System for Group of Mobile Robots Artur Babiarz, Robert Bieda, and Krzysztof Jaskot Abstract. A vision system for group of small mobile robots playing soccer is presented. The whole process of extracting vision information from input images is discussed in detail. The method for correcting radial distortion introduced to the image by camera’s lens is presented, then simple adaptive background subtraction algorithm is described. Next, classical flood fill algorithm is presented together with novel optimization giving better results and shorter calculation time. Later, novel method for calculating object’s orientation, based on the geometrical moments and special shape of color markers on top of each robot, is presented. Then, the color classifier based on the histogram intersection kernel is discussed. Design of the vision system as a central server providing vision information to many clients simultaneously is presented. Experimental results obtained with use of the algorithm presented are also provided. 1 Introduction Over 80% of all perceptual information being received by the human’s brain comes from his eyes. So it is quite natural that engineers try to add vision to robot systems in order to improve their capabilities. The vision algorithm and its implementation described in this work are part of bigger research project whose goal is to build complete control system able to successfully participate in RoboSoccer tournament. RoboSoccer is an international initiative aimed at research and development of multi-agent systems in complex, dynamic environments. A good example of such multi-agent system is a soccer match of two teams of three robots on small playing field. Although, at first sight, the RoboSoccer tournament seems to be nothing more than building and playing with toys, practical attempts to participate in it reveal Artur Babiarz ⋅ Robert Bieda ⋅ Krzysztof Jaskot Silesian University of Technology, Institute of Automatic Control, Akademicka 16, 44-101 Gliwice, Poland e-mail: {artur.babiarz,krzysztof.jaskot,robert.bieda}@polsl.pl A.
