Abstract
This paper presents a research on the fast and accurate method of line detection in the image of a wireless mobile robot (WMR). For the improvement of the processing time to detect lines, the characteristics of the transmitted image from the WMR was analyzed, and the efficient preprocessing method among the existing preprocessing methods was selected. And for the improvement of the accuracy to detect lines, the selection method of local maximum value at the Hough array (HA) which has the result of Hough transform was improved by designing a mask and applying it to HA. The experiment was performed with acquired images from the WMR, and the proposed method outperformed the existing methods in terms of processing time and line detection.
