Benchmarks for Robotic Soccer Vision

Ricardo Dodds, Luca Iocchi, Pablo Guerrero, Javier Ruiz-del-Solar

Abstract: Robotic soccer vision has been a major research problem in RoboCup and, even though many progresses have been made so that, for example, games now can run without many constraints on the lighting conditions, the problem has not been completely solved and on-site camera calibration is always a major activity for RoboCup soccer teams. While different robotic soccer vision and object perception techniques continue to appear in the RoboCup Soccer League, there is a lack of quantitative evaluation of existing methods.
