Visual Robot Detection in RoboCup Using Neural Networks

Abstract. Robot recognition is a very important point for further improvements in game-play in RoboCup middle size league. In this paper we present a neural recognition method we developed to find robots using different visual information. Two algorithms are introduced to detect possible robot areas in an image and a subsequent recognition method with two combined multi-layer perceptrons is used to classify this areas regarding different features. The presented results indicate a very good overall performance of this approach.
