A simple LED panel dection algoritum for Optical Camera Communication systems

In optical camera communication (OCC), LED panels are used to transmit visible light signal which will be received by cameras. The transmitted data is obtained through processing the captured images of LED panels. The first step in this process is to determine where the LED panels are in the image. Existing object detection algorithms are not originally designed for LED detection and thus is not effective for this task. In this study, based on distinct characteristics of LED, a simple and effective LED panel detection algorithm is proposed. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified through simulations.
