Abstract

Disturbances of turbidity and low illuminance are problems in real sea areas when recognizing objects with cameras. Therefore, the recognition target was made to emit light so that it can be recognized correctly even in that environment. However, a suitable light intensity of the target was not decided and it is obvious that recognition results was changed by light intensity of the target. This paper presents the analysis of recognition accuracy of the Real-time 3D estimation system by changing the current value of each color LED (red, green, blue) under turbid and low illuminance. Recognition experiments were conducted at the distance 600 [mm] between the ROV and 3D marker. The turbidity level was set constant value. The current value was changing from 0 [mA] to 16 [mA] for each LED individually. The best current for each LED was optimized by the fitness value and estimation value of position and orientation. The results showed that the recognition accuracy of the proposed system was improved by using optimized lighting intensity.
