Detection of object under outdoor environment with binary edge template and its application to automatic cranes

The authors propose an expanding technique for template matching to detect the object under the outdoor environment. The edge image is used under the outdoor environment. The template converts the edge image into the binary edge image and the template of the binary edge image is matched to an unknown edge image. As a result, change in the edge image is robust compared with template matching between the edge images. In this paper, the outline of the proposed technique and the effectiveness of that based on the experimental result are shown.
