Abstract

This paper presents new global visual features: random distribution of limited set of pixels luminance. Our approach aims to improve the real-time performance of visual servoing applications. In fact, using these new features, we reduce the computation time of the visual servoing scheme. Our method is based on a random process which ensures efficient and fast convergence of the robot. The use of our new features removes the matching and tracking process. Experimental results are presented to validate our approach.
