Abstract

We present a method for locating and determining the six degrees of freedom through a simple algorithm based on artificial vision. This algorithm can estimate the relative orientation of the camera with respect to a precise figure, it gives, roll, pitch and yaw, as well as the distance to the figure. We make use of the Euler number of a set of figures with a given distribution. We use the system to drive a small radio controlled car with the only assistant of the information gathered by a standard web-cam.
