A Cloth Detection Method Based on Image Wrinkle Feature for Daily Assistive Robots.

Abstract

)>IJH=?J — This paper describes an image based clothes detection method. Our method enables daily assistive robots to nd clothes which are readily placed on real environments. No prior knowledge related to shape model or color information is needed because wrinkles on a cloth are extracted as image feature. The feature is constructed through SVM learning by using training data which is the result of Gabor ltering. Clothes extraction based on the feature is combined with Graph Cut, image regions are divided into cloth regions and background. Effectiveness of the proposed method was illustrated through tidying clothes up by a real robot in living room. I.
