Line-Circle-Square (LCS): A Multilayered Geometric Filter for Edge-Based Detection
share
This paper presents a state-of-the-art filter that reduces the complexity in object detection, tracking and mapping applications. Existing edge detection and tracking methods are proposed to create suitable autonomy for mobile robots, however many of them face overconfidence and large computations at the entrance to scenarios with an immense number of landmarks. In particular, it is not practically efficient to solely rely on limited sensors such as a camera. The method in this work, the Line-Circle-Square (LCS) filter, claims that mobile robots without a large database for object recognition and highly advanced prediction methods can deal with incoming objects that the camera captures in real-time. The proposed filter applies detection, tracking and learning to each defined expert to extract more information for judging scenes without over-calculation. The interactive learning feed between each expert creates a minimal error that works against overwhelming detected features in crowded scenes. Our experts are dependent on trust factors' covariance under the geometric definitions to ignore, emerge and compare detected landmarks. The experiment validates the effectiveness of the proposed filter in terms of detection precision and resource usage.
