The robot vision system is the critical component of the soccer robot, in football competition, robot perceive the most of the information from the vision system. Because of the variable illumination conditions, the traditional image segmentation method based on color information is not satisfactory. Based on the color information and shape information of the object, this paper proposes a object recognition algorithm that combine color image segmentation with edge detection. This algorithm implement image segmentation use color information in the HSV color space obtain the pixel of the object, then use this pixel implement edge detection to recognize the object. Experiments show that this algorithm can recognize the object exactly in the different illumination conditions, satisfy the requirement of the competition.

In recent years, research on cognitive aging increasingly has focused on the cognitive development across middle adulthood. However, little is still known about the long-term effects of intensive job-specific training of fluid intellectual abilities. In this study we examined the effects of age- and job-specific practice of cognitive abilities on detection performance in airport security x-ray screening. In Experiment 1 (N = 308; 24–65 years), we examined performance in the X-ray Object Recognition Test (ORT), a speeded visual object recognition task in which participants have to find dangerous items in x-ray images of passenger bags; and in Experiment 2 (N = 155; 20–61 years) in an on-the-job object recognition test frequently used in baggage screening. Results from both experiments show high performance in older adults and significant negative age correlations that cannot be overcome by more years of job-specific experience. We discuss the implications of our findings for theories of lifespan cognitive development and training concepts.
