Developing Spherical Mobile Devices for Indoor Exploration

Abstract

Computer vision systems and algorithms are designed to process digital images and extract necessary information from it. In this research we propose computer vision system consisting of several spherical mobile devices with digital camera and microcomputer inside. Device's design, basic characteristics and current results, as well as steps for further actions to improve the system are described below in the paper. At the core of image processing OpenCV library and modern convolutional neural networks such as YOLOv3, MobileNETSSDv2 are used.
