A System of Clothing Boundary Recognition Using Machine Learning For Life Support Robots

Abstract

Machine learning and image processing are widely used in various fields, such as, robot vision, object recognition, and automated driving technology. This paper is, the use of cameras to acquire image information, and machine learning methods to analyze and identify the edge boundaries of clothes in the Difficulty in putting on and taking off clothes in the elderly and some patients, especially when going to the toilet. Then, clothing boundary recognition and assistive robots can ameliorate these problems by distinguishing where the edges of the pants are so that they can Determine the position of the waistband of the trousers, and perform dressing and undressing assistance work. The ultimate goal of this research is to be able to apply it to the system control of the clothing donning and doffing device.
