description : This research paper is about method of detection of free region and obstacle region by combining image segmentation and frame subtraction method. The application will be further study to be used by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This method intends to minimize the weight of UAV by avoiding heavy sensors. Objective of this research is to utilize the pixel expansion of object to find free region. K-means segmentation will be used to separate the interest area from the background. Then, segmented image frame will be subtracted and then divided into several grids and the amount of subtracted pixel that has been set into yellow and black color of each grid will be calculated with respect to distance given. The expansion of pixel will be detected as, the distance between image frame coming closer, number of obstacle pixel will be higher. The application of simple LIDAR that emits single ray to frontal obstacle will initiate the camera to capture image frame to be further analyze. Experiment was carried out in close environment with different cases and total of 100 images has been captured that consist of texture obstacle, texture-less obstacle, and multiple obstacles. The findings showed bearable results as the free region detection is 88.0% for texture obstacle and up to 84.0% of free region were successfully detected for texture-less obstacle. Due to lack of cues and texture in texture-less object, the algorithm had difficulties detecting the center of object that expands in static form.
