Isolating color patterns

Started by Mr X October 5, 2002

Hi everyone,

I am working on machine vision for a Lego robot.

The aim is having robot to navigate around the room, based on digital
camera output. (Sample photo is added to the Photos section). On this
photo, I am trying to isolate the floor. Essentially I am trying to
turn the entire floor into a blob, based of its color values. Looking
at this, the regions of the blob which appear higher will be assumed
to be further. So the robot will move that way.

My image processing library is JIGL, a Java image processing library.

My question is, what methods can be used to filter out certain colors
or color patters? On the picture I tried R<190 R>100, however other
objects in the images carry the same value.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
