Active image segmentation using a camera and a range finder
Piotr Jasiobedzki · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1993
This paper describes an image segmentation algorithm and the results obtained using a specially designed robotic head. The head consists of a camera and a laser range-finder mounted on a pan & tilt unit. Additional distance measuring capabilities, offered by the head, have been integrated into the segmentation process. The described method will be used for detecting visual landmarks by an autonomous mobile robot.
