First Claim
Patent Images
1. A robot comprising:
- an imaging unit providing an image frame of an area onto which a structured light is projected;
a traveling unit tracking a boundary of a floor object using a position of the structured light in the image frame;
a detection unit detecting the floor object using a traveling path of the traveling unit; and
a boundary measurement unit measuring a third boundary direction of the floor object through a sum of a weight value of a first boundary direction measured using the position of the structured light in the image frame and a weight value of a second boundary direction measured using a difference between color information of the floor object and color information of a floor in the image frame,wherein the traveling unit tracks the floor object in parallel with the third boundary direction.

Abstract
A method of detecting an object using a structured light and a robot using the same are disclosed. The method of detecting a floor object using a structured light includes measuring a height difference of a position onto which a specified structured light is projected with a reference position, and detecting the floor object using the measured height difference.

14. A method of detecting a floor object using a structured light, comprising:
-
measuring a height difference of a position onto which a structured light is projected from a reference position; and detecting the floor object using the measured height difference, wherein the detecting the floor object comprises tracking a boundary of the floor object using the structured light, and detecting the floor object in accordance with a tracking path of the boundary of the floor object, and wherein the tracking the boundary comprises providing an image frame of the position onto which the structured light is projected, measuring a first boundary direction of the floor object using the position of the structured light in the image frame corresponding to the position onto which the structured light is projected, measuring a second boundary direction of the floor object using a difference between color information of the floor object and color information of a floor in the image frame, calculating a third boundary direction of the floor object through a sum of weight values of the first and second boundary directions, and moving in a direction parallel with the third boundary direction. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
