This work shows the possibility of using spectral analysis in order to detect characteristic points in recorded images. The specific point is a marker in the form of a diode that flashes at a certain frequency. Main assumptions of the processing algorithm are the recording of a sequence of images and treatment change of level of brightness for each pixel as a time signal. The amplitude spectrum is determined for each time signal. The result of data processing is an amplitude image whose pixels brightness corresponding to the intensity of source of pulsating light emitting specific frequency. This new data representation is used to detect position of markers. The algorithm was re¬searched in order to select optimal marker colors and pulsation frequency. The results are described in a summary.
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.
