Abstract

Robot navigation relies on a robust and real-time visual perception system to understand the surrounding environment This paper describes a fast visual landmark search and recognition mechanism for real-time robotics applications The mechanism models two stages of visual perception named preattentive and attentive stages The pre-attentive stage provides a global guided search by identifying regions of interest, which is followed by the attentive stage for landmark recognition The results show the mechanism validity and applicability to autonomous robot applications.
