Fast segmentation and identification in vision system for soccer robots

Real-time segmentation is important in the color-vision system on the robot system such as soccer robot. This paper introduced a color image segmentation method using improved seed-fill algorithm in YUV color space. The new method dramatically reduces the work of calculation, and speed up the image processing. The result of comparing it with the old method based on RGB color space was showed in the paper. The implementation on MiroSot Soccer Robot System shows that the new method is fast and accurate.
