In this paper, in order to improve detection reliability, we first set up the color-space-based region of interest (ROI) in which an LEA is likely to be placed, and then use the Harris corner detection method. Next, we use Kalman filtering for robust tracking by predicting the most probable location of the LEA when the relative position between the camera and the LEA varies. In the last step of our proposed method, the perspective projection is used to correct the distorted image, which can improve the symbol decision accuracy. Finally, through numerical simulation, we show the possibility of robust detection and tracking of the LEA, which results in a symbol error rate (SER) performance improvement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s16071027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,4]],"date-time":"2016-07-04T10:04:21Z","timestamp":1467626661000},"page":"1027","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["LEA Detection and Tracking Method for Color-Independent Visual-MIMO"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5170-2676","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jai-Eun","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Kookmin University, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul 136-702, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ji-Won","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Kookmin University, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul 136-702, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ki-Doo","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, Kookmin University, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul 136-702, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,2]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ashokz, A., Gruteserz, M., Mandayamz, N., and Dana, K.
