A vision based application is proposed for a line following mobile robot. A low-cost Webcam is used as the sensor and the image buffers are processed via a customized image segregation method to output necessary information for the mobile robot's controller under uncontrollable lighting condition. The task is to allow the mobile robot to navigate through a predefined path marked by a white line on a dark green floor surface. Experimental results shows that the mobile robot successfully able to navigate throughout the provided path. This technique is robust, reliable and easily modified for used in any other applications, such in industrial applications where costly sensors and transducers are normally used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
