SwisTrack/Examples/RobotTracking

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

(Note that this example is not yet in the SVN tree, but will eventually appear there.)

This example demonstrates how you can use SwisTrack to track a fleet of robots. The robots have simple blue markers on them, and the camera being used is a color camera. (Note that the example reads an AVI file, but you can replace the AVI file component by a component matching your camera type.)

Experimental Setup

[edit | edit source]

The experiment took place in a standard office room with a camera mounted on the ceiling. Special attention was given to the lights, to ensure uniform illumination of the arena.

SwisTrack Configuration

[edit | edit source]

SwisTrack is configured with the following components:

  • AVI file input (replace this by a component matching your camera type)
  • Conversion to Color, to copy the image to the color processing channel
  • ...
  • Thresholding
  • Blob Detection
  • Output Particles
