Abstract

This paper presents, CoViS, a low-cost real-time amphibious optical computer vision system based on a modified 4-connectivity approach that scans acquired frames from a video stream for a target hue range and then applies a few advanced techniques of image processing to the video as well. The relatively fast and inexpensive system provides Cartesian coordinates for the tracked object, making the system an option for unmanned amphibious vehicles to acquire, track and recognize objects.
