Tracking algorithm for suitcase that follows its owner autonomously

4th International Conference on Virtual Reality (ICVR) -- FEB 24-26, 2018 -- Hong Kong, HONG KONGWOS:000471068800011This paper presents an application of human tracking suitcase with the help of a small camera. This application aimed to make the travels more comfortable. The heavy suitcases can be difficult to carry for most of us and disabled. Under favor of this application, people can travel without thinking about heavy suitcases anymore. This application contains two technical stages as image processing and control. Motor control of the suitcase has been done by using motion information. The suitcase can track colorful objects with the help of the camera which is located on the handlebar. In this project, we developed a tracking algorithm that gives better results than single color tracking. Distance sensors are also used to escape from obstacles. This travel mate is also trustable because when the unit cannot catch the person anymore, the alarm starts to warn the owner. As a result, when a suitcase combined with this designed unit, suitcases are no longer a problem to carry during the travel.IACSI
