Popis: | Small autonomous florr cleaning robots are the first robots to have entered our homes. These automatic vacuum cleaners have only used ver low-level dirt detection sensors and the vision systems have been constrained to plain-colored and simple-textured floors. However, for industrial applications, where efficiency and the quality of work are paramount, explicit high-level dirt detection is essential. To extend the usability of floor cleaning robots to theses real-world applications, we introduce a more general approach that detects dirt spots on single-colored as well as regularly-textured floors. Dirt detection is approached as a single-class classification problem, using unsupervised online learning of a Gaussian Mixture Model representing the floor pattern. An extensive evaluation shows that our method detects dirt spots on different floor types and that it outperforms state-of-the-art approaches especially for complex floor textures. |
