A visual servoing system, which is consisted of a CCD camera and a robot, is presented in this paper. Through the visual feedback from the CCD camera, the proposed system is able to track a moving object. In gereral, the visual servoing systems can be approximately divided into the position-based control and the image-based control respectively. Theposition-based control method is adopted in the proposed system. The system contains three major elements: image process, trajectory prediction,and robot control. In image process, a method of reducing the background effect is employed to find out the object, and then thecenter of the gravity of the object image is the object position. In trajectory prediction, the Kalman filter is equipped to predict the trajectory of themoving object. In robot control, a ramp velocity profile is used to regulate theposition command for controlling the manipulator. Additionally, a neural network controller is adopted to eliminate the noise imposed on the feedback signal, if the system is under a coarse enviroment.
