Abstract



Design and properties of an Android-based autonomous
human tracking vehicle has been presented in this paper.  It has been developed by using 3G technology
with a smartphone. Real time control of the vehicle and transfer of captured
image are performed by connecting the smartphone on the vehicle to the
user’s
smartphone. The aim of this paper is the design and implementation of a
solution for supplying autonomous human tracking for especially using in
unmanned ground vehicle cost effectively, user friendly and real time. Object
tracking was implemented with OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) library,
introduced to the develop software on the vehicle.
The vehicle tracks human
autonomously when track button is switched on. It is controlled remotely by the
user. A compact and cost effective system has been realized by XMPP protocol
and using minimum hardware. In addition, unnecessary power consumption was
prevented through the developed software with the accelerometer by detecting
the vehicle condition. Performance tests have been done on command and image
transmission. The commanded autonomous transmission for the control process and
real
time image transmission can be achieved in short time
as 240 ms and 158 ms, respectively.
