Abstract

The paper proposes a real-time tracking algorithm for a moving object with mobile robot based on vision using adaptive color matching and Kalman filter. The adaptive color matching can limit the region containing moving object on vision image plane. It can adjust color matching threshold to reduce the influence of lighting variations in the scene. Kalman filter is used as our prediction module to calculate motion vectors of moving object in the robot coordinate system. A view window containing the position of moving object estimated by Kalman filter is determined on image plane to reduce the image processing area. Color matching threshold can adjust itself adaptively in view window, which is used as an updating module. Experimental results show that the algorithm can adapt to lighting variations and has good tracking precision. It can also be implemented in real time.
