Applying image processing techniques on a ball collecting robot

摘要

Image processing is the signal processing for which the input is an image (as defined in imaging science; such as a photograph or video frame), and the output of this operation may be a modified image or a set of parameters put together as a matrix in most cases. Image-processing defines the image in two dimensions and applies certain image processing techniques. In this paper, image processing techniques are implemented using Matlab for a ball collecting robot. The proposed robot has the ability to collect colored balls, and then to transfer them to a container at the end of the track. This operation includes also avoiding the other robots and obstacles used for the same purposes. The work in this paper provides a computer aided design (CAD) model for the robot and the results for used image processing techniques.
