Abstract

The present work focuses on the implementation of a robust and fault tolerant global vision system for RoboCup Small League soccer teams. It is based on a vision control approach, in which vision processes are guided by necessit yof information and knowledge aboutthe environment. The object detection is based on a chromatic approach where chromatic patterns were modeled using a mixture of gaussian functions, trained with a stochastic gradient descent method. The implemented system meets, and in certain cases exceeds, the functionality required to participate in RoboCup and reported in related works.
