ANALYSIS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF USING MARKERS EMITTING PULSATING LIGHT IN THE TASK OF LOCALIZATION

Abstract

This work shows the possibility of using spectral analysis in order to detect characteristic points in recorded images. The specific point is a marker in the form of a diode that flashes at a certain frequency. Main assumptions of the processing algorithm are the recording of a sequence of images and treatment change of level of brightness for each pixel as a time signal. The amplitude spectrum is determined for each time signal. The result of data processing is an amplitude image whose pixels brightness corresponding to the intensity of source of pulsating light emitting specific frequency. This new data representation is used  to detect position of markers. The algorithm was re¬searched in order to select optimal marker colors and pulsation frequency. The results are described in a summary.
