Abstract

To achieve robust color perception under varying light conditions in indoor and outdoor environments, we propose a three-step method consisting of adaptive camera parameter control, image segmentation and color classification. A controller for the intrinsic camera para- meters is used to improve color stability in the YUV space. Segmentation is done to detect spatially coherent regions of uniform color belonging to objects in the image. Then, a probabilistic classification method is applied to label the colors by use of a Gaussian color distribution model. Experiments under combination of artificial and natural illuminations indoors and outdoors have been carried out. The results show the feasibility of this approach as well as the problems that occur under these highly diverse light situations. In particular we investigate the application in a RoboCup soccer scenario pointing toward future outdoor use.
