Abstract
This paper designs a way to process image of crawling welding robot (CWR). With CCD sensors to capture man-made mark in interfering circumstance, we adopt and compare different image processing methods to extract useful information, including target location, edge extraction and centerline extraction. Beside this, we develop a controlling software with this image processing method and trace a man-made mark with the CWR. Result of tracing experiment shows that CWR can find and reach the mark precisely in welding circumstance.
