Mobile robots suffer from sensory data corruption due to body oscillations and motion disturbances. In particular, information loss in images captured with on board cameras can be very high, may become irreversible or computationally costly to compensate. In this thesis, a novel method to minimize average motion blur captured by such mobile visual sensors is proposed. To this end, an inertial sensor data based motion blur metric, MMBM, is derived. The metric can be computed in real time. Its accuracy is validated through a comparison with optic-flow based motion-blur measures. The applicability of MMBM is illustrated through a motion blur minimizing system implemented on the experimental SensoRHex hexapod robot platform by externally triggering an on board camera based on MMBM values computed in real-time while the robot is walking straight on a flat surface. The resulting motion blur is compared to motion blur levels obtained with a regular, fixed frame rate image acquisition schedule by both qualitative inspection and using a blind image based blur metric computed on captured images. MMBM based motion blur minimization system, through an appropriate modulation of the frame acquisition timing, not only reduces average motion blur, but also avoids frames with extreme motion blur, resulting in a promising, real-time motion blur compensation approach.

A Real-Time Inertial Motion Blur Metric: Application to Frame Triggering Based Motion Blur Minimization Mutlu, Mehmet; Saranlı, Afşar; Saranlı, Uluç (2014-06-07) Mobile robots suffer from sensory data corruption due to body oscillations and disturbances. In particular, information loss on images captured with onboard cameras can be very high, and such loss may become irreversible or computationally costly to undo. In this paper, we propose a novel method to minimize average motion blur captured by such mobile visual sensors. To this end, we derive a motion blur metric (MMBM) that can be computed in real-time by using only inertial sensor measurements and validate it...
A behavior based robot control system using neuro-fuzzy approach Öğüt, Demet; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2003) In autonomous navigation of mobile robots the dynamic environment is a source of problems. Because it is not possible to model all the possible conditions, the key point in the robot control is to design a system that is adaptable to different conditions and robust in dynamic environments. This study presents a reactive control system for a Khepera robot with the ability to navigate in a dynamic environment for reaching goal objects. The main motivation of this research is to design a robot control, which i...
Single and multi-frame motion deblurring for legged robots: characterization using a novel fd-aroc performance metric and a comprehensive motion-blur dataset Gültekin, Gökhan Koray; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) Dexterous legged robots are agile platforms that can move on variable terrain at high speeds. The locomotion of these legged platforms causes oscillations of the robot body which become more severe depending on the surface and locomotion speed. Camera sensors mounted on such platforms experience the same disturbances, hence resulting in motion blur. This is a corruption of the image and results in loss of information which in turn causes degradation or loss of important image features. Most of the studies i...
A Conditional coverage path planning method for an autonomous lawn mower Karol, Ardıç; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016) Randomized and deterministic coverage path planning methods are widely used in autonomous lawn mowers. Random planning cannot guarantee a complete coverage, whereas, many deterministic techniques are not solely eligible for unstructured outdoor environments, since they highly suffer from wheel slippage or numerical drift. Besides, complete coverage techniques either demands high computational power or expensive sensor hardware. A genuine, Conditional Coverage Path Planning (CCPP) method, which satisfies com...
Implementation of a closed-loop action generation system on a humanoid robot through learning by demonstration Tunaoğlu, Doruk; Şahin, Erol; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) In this thesis the action learning and generation problem on a humanoid robot is studied. Our aim is to realize action learning, generation and recognition in one system and our inspiration source is the mirror neuron hypothesis which suggests that action learning, generation and recognition share the same neural circuitry. Dynamic Movement Primitives, an efficient action learning and generation approach, are modified in order to fulfill this aim. The system we developed (1) can learn from multiple demonstr...
