A Framework for Insight Finder by Object Detection Mechanism

Abstract

The basic design principle of insight finder includes Arduino as a microcontroller device, Pixy2 CMUCam5 for object detection and other different sensors used for finding paths. As a result, insight finder (IFBot) rover had been produced to find a suitable path between different types and colors of objects. This device can remember different color object signatures and objects at the same time, also have capabilities of handling 60 frames per second at super-fast processing and can process synchronous serial data for communication within short distance. Pixy2 has been used in IFBot Rover system as a color object sensor for object detection. The other hardware devices used to design IFBot are ultrasonic sensors, IR Sensors, Motor Drivers, gear motors. By adopting a simple wall following, line following and barcode reading algorithm, the device can detect object and path. Pixy Mon application software can produce high accuracy data with relatively high speed. The discussion in the result shows that the design of IFBot model can be further upgraded to perform better in terms of speed and accuracy.
