METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING CHARGING DEVICE, MOBILE ROBOTS AND SYSTEMS FOR IDENTIFYING CHARGING DEVICE

Methods, devices, and systems for identifying charging devices are provided. In one aspect, a method of identifying a charging device include: capturing an infrared image and a depth image of a current field of view with a depth camera; determining, according to the infrared image, that there are one or more suspected charging device areas that satisfy first specified conditions; determining, according to the depth image, that there is a target charging device area whose height relative to a depth camera is within a specified range in the one or more suspected charging device areas; and identifying the charging device according to the target charging device area. The first specified conditions indicate that a gray-scale value of each of pixels in an area is greater than a second specified value, and a number of the pixels in the area is greater than a third specified value.
