A navigation and location method based on light tracking and infrared image adjusting for inspection robot in substation is proposed in this paper.First of all,the range lights in fixed points near the path are settled,and then the images which contain the information of the range light through infrared video camera can be captured,next some corresponding algorithms to preprocess the images is implemented to eliminate irrelevant information,finally the range light's real position can be got according to its size and position in the image,thus ...
