Abstract

Target recognition is a key module in modern human–computer interaction (HCI) and computer vision systems It is pervasively used in many domains like autonomous vehicles and robot, remote operation, and video surveillance. However, due to the complicated environment and object occlusion, target recognition is still a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a novel target recognition algorithm toward autonomous robot by leveraging the Kinect sensors. More specifically, we utilize the Kinect sensors to capture scenario image in real-time. Subsequently, we present an improved HSV-based image segmentation algorithm to decompose the captured image, where morphological operation is employed for foreground target extraction. Afterward, we leverage Spatial Pyramid (SP)-based scheme for visual feature extraction. Then, we adopt a new distance metric for target matching. Comprehensive experimental results have shown the effectiveness of our proposed method.
