Reinforcement learning for vision based mobile robots using the Hough Transform

Vision-based perception gives autonomous robots the ability to perform a varied set of tasks, due to the great amount and quality of information it procures. Although Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a learning model that has made a great impact in the autonomous robots field, its application to visio...

description Vision-based perception gives autonomous robots the ability to perform a varied set of tasks, due to the great amount and quality of information it procures.

One of the main reasons for this fact is the size of the state space: raw images are usually simply too big to be used as states for the direct application of RL techniques. In this work, we present a method that uses the linear Hough Transform to detect straight lines in captured images.
