Research of Object Recognition Algorithm Based on Variable Illumination

The robot vision system is the critical component of the soccer robot, in football competition, robot perceive the most of the information from the vision system. Because of the variable illumination conditions, the traditional image segmentation method based on color information is not satisfactory. Based on the color information and shape information of the object, this paper proposes a object recognition algorithm that combine color image segmentation with edge detection. This algorithm implement image segmentation use color information in the HSV color space obtain the pixel of the object, then use this pixel implement edge detection to recognize the object. Experiments show that this algorithm can recognize the object exactly in the different illumination conditions, satisfy the requirement of the competition.
