Implementation of vision based object tracking robot

Abstract

This paper introduces a vision based object tracking robot which is driven by wheels and controlled by a computer along with software. The objective of this project is to design a robot which is automatically controlled by computer to track and follow a colored object. Emphasis is given on precision vision based robotic applications. Image acquisition by the robot is achieved by using a PC-based webcam, then it is send to image processing software for further processing. The overall paper describes a visual sensor system used in the field of robotics for identification and tracking of the object.
