STRAIGHT-LINE MOBILE ROBOT USING VIDEO PROCESSING TECHNIQUE

[摘要] This paper presents a method for relocation a mobile robot using video processing technique. This method is able to detect the mapped line and followed by the mobile robot. This method consists of line detection and path recovery techniques to relocate the mobile robot automatically. Based on the application, images captured from webcam are used for detecting the line trajectory. Error pathway followed by mobile robot generates path’s error data using line detection technique. Based on path’s error data, speed and time period supplied to the mobile robot’s wheels have been measured and experimented. The project implemented high definition webcam 1080hd and Arduino board to capture the video and relocate the mobile robot respectively. This video was framed and formed into 2D sequential images.
