This paper presents a novel approach to autonomous robot navigation using an RGB-D camera technology for complex urban environments. The paper proposes a comprehensive system integrating checkpoint-based path planning, image-based self-localization, and a hybrid method for drivable area estimation. The drivable area estimation technique combines Graph-based Segmentation (GBS), deep learning-based road detection and texture feature analysis. Using 315 diverse urban images, the system’s performance was evaluated by comparing the results of three methods: (i) GBS with texture features, (ii) deep learning alone, and (iii) the proposed hybrid approach. While deep learning achieved the highest overall performance (IoU: 0.832, Accuracy: 0.875), the hybrid approach showed competitive results (IoU: 0.823, Accuracy: 0.870). Importantly, qualitative analysis revealed that the proposed hybrid approach outperformed deep learning in challenging scenarios such as roads adjacent to vehicular traffic and narrow pathways. These findings demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach for robust autonomous navigation in complex urban environments, advancing applications in service robotics.

With the rapid development of computer vision research, the technology has
received extensive attention and has been widely used. In today’s society, the technology of
automatic recognition of human movements is particularly important in research related
to the development of elderly care systems and crime prevention systems. However, most
conventional researches on motion recognition assume that the motion is on the plane
perpendicular to the optical axis of the camera. There are only a few studies dealing
with the motion in the direction of a camera’s optical axis and the reported accuracy
is only 83.7%. Therefore, to improve the accuracy while reducing processing time, this
paper proposes a TMRIs (Triplet Motion Representation Images) that expresses human
motion by extending the traditional method named MHI (Motion History Image), Ex-
HOOF (Extended Histogram of Oriented Optical Flow) that includes features of motion
direction and velocity information, and the change of features of the area and the center
of gravity of the foreground object, to identify the movement toward the optical axis of
a camera and hence improve the accuracy of action recognition. The performance and
effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by experiments.

This paper proposes a human-robot cooperative system supported by visual communication. Human-robot cooperation is expected in various fields nowadays in order to raise efficiency, accuracy and safety of work, to name a few, production of goods, logistics, car driving, care of aged people, etc. In the human-robot cooperation, it is desirable that a human takes less part of work; whereas a robot takes a larger role with it. The idea of the present paper is that visual decision making is done by a human rather than a robot. The proposed system goes to a specified remote spot autonomously and performs objects acquisition there by communicating visually with a user. It aims at realizing ‘a shopping robot’ in near future and expected to be used by disadvantaged shoppers. The proposed system is presented and some experimental results are shown.

A bus is not a very convenient means for a visually impaired person because of the difficulty in identifying its route number, although it is an economical tool for travel. This paper proposes a method of detecting and identifying a bus route number using the MYVISION system which employs an ego camera worn by a visually impaired person. The method finds a frontal area of a bus approaching a bus stop using the video which the camera provides by using optical flow and random forest employing Haar-like features. It then extracts the upper destination panel area followed by the detection of a route number at the right-hand side of the panel. Finally, the detected route number is identified by template matching. In the experiment, various kinds of videos containing the buses of a bus company were captured at different places and different weather conditions, and the effectiveness of the proposed method was shown. The method is now planned to be applied to the busses of various bus companies.

Human Pose Estimatin From Egocentric Videos Reviewed International journal

According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in 2019, about 30% of patients suffer from back pain and stiff shoulders. Although researches on pose estimation have been conducted for a long time, they cannot be used for daily pose estimation, because they need fixed cameras to capture target/subject motions. To solve this problem, the present paper proposes a novel pose estimation method from egocentric videos using Epipolar Geometry. It computes three rotational angles, i.e., pitch, yaw and roll, from the egocentric motion videos to evaluate differences from his/her normal motion. In the experiment, three egocentric videos were used to verify the performance and effectiveness of the proposed method and reasonable/satisfactory results were obtained.
