Abstract
In this paper, a Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) system is proposed to automatically control the navigation of wheelchairs by detecting the shadows on their route. In this context, a new algorithm to detect shadows in a single image is proposed. Specifically, a novel adaptive direction tracking filter (ADT) is developed to extract feature information along the direction of shadow boundaries. The proposed algorithm avoids extraction of features around all directions of pixels, which significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of shadow features extraction. Higher-order statistics (HOS) features such as skewness and kurtosis in addition to other optical features are used as input to different Machine Learning (ML) based classifiers, specifically, a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Autoencoder (AE), 1D-Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM), to perform the shadow boundaries detection task. Comparative results demonstrate that the proposed MLP-based system outperforms all the other state-of-the-art approaches, reporting accuracy rates up to 84.63%.
