Abstract

In Real World Robot Challenge 2013, a mission was added that had robots search for a person wearing clothes featuring unique colors. We focus on the layout of such clothes with the aim of detecting persons wearing them by applying color extraction. Color extraction is improved by preprocessing of a clipping image from the robot’s vision and possibly extracting colors worn by target persons stably in natural light. Persons are detected by simply evaluating the layout of target colors. Our robots were equipped with person detection for this challenge and have detected all targeted persons. This paper describes considerations about person detection performance based on pre- and postchallenge results.
