Article Synopsis
- Natural-language dialog is essential for effective human-robot interaction, allowing robots to understand and learn from human feedback.
- The proposed system utilizes large language models (LLMs) to facilitate incremental learning of complex behaviors, enabling robots to generate Python commands for actions.
- Feedback from human instructions and robot execution is used to refine the learning process, allowing for improved responses to similar future requests, with results evaluated in both simulated and real-world environments.
Automatic detection and recognition of signs from natural scenes.
IEEE Trans Image Process
January 2004
In this paper, we present an approach to automatic detection and recognition of signs from natural scenes, and its application to a sign translation task. The proposed approach embeds multiresolution and multiscale edge detection, adaptive searching, color analysis, and affine rectification in a hierarchical framework for sign detection, with different emphases at each phase to handle the text in different sizes, orientations, color distributions and backgrounds. We use affine rectification to recover deformation of the text regions caused by an inappropriate camera view angle.
