Abstract

Automatic motion detection features are able to enhance surveillance efficiency and quality. The aim of this research is to recognize and detect motion automatically around a robot's environment in order to equip a mobile robot for a surveillance task. The required information is based on the input obtained from a charge coupled device (CCD) camera mounted on the mobile robot. As the first step toward achieving the goal, it is necessary to have a stationary mobile robot and moving objects. Experiments in a different environment, such as different movements, size of moving objects, and lighting conditions, have also been conducted. The “adjacent pixels comparison” is the proposed method to detect motion in this experiment. The results have verified that the motion detection experiments operate as expected.
