Abstract
A mobile robot to which a shadow removal method and system for surveillance camera-based mobile robot control according to the present invention is applied acquires images from two closely installed surveillance cameras indoors and performs shadow removal at an improved speed compared to the conventional speed, to recognize the obstacle in the image to avoid it and travel.It is anticipated that through the mobile robot using the surveillance camera-based shadow removal method and system of the present invention, the practical use of an intelligent image surveillance system that can automatically analyze images and recognize a dangerous situation to take quick action may be accelerated.
