Abstract

A model-based scene analysis for the recognition of imperfect and possibly occluded two-dimensional (2D) industrial parts is described. The means of recognition leads reliably to the correct association of the sides making up the unknown object to those of the model. Both the scene polygon and the model are divided into pairs of complementary subpolygons. This is done by a cutting line drawn parallel and close to a selected side. The subpolygons from the object are compared to all possible subpolygons from the model. Invariant moments are used in the analysis. A matching process using clusters of mutually consistent features is used to hypothesize the identity of the object. Examples are given to illustrate the method.

Recognizing one-DOF industrial tools using invariant moments
1996, Mathematical and Computer Modelling
In this paper, a simple but efficient approach is proposed to recognize one-DOF industrial tools. Since the shape is changed with the variation of the jaw angles and a feature vectorobtained by conventional approach is not unique, we use the invariant moments and the ratio of area to perimeter squared of a boundary image to construct the required feature vector for object recognition. Two statistical classifiers based on the nearest-neighbor rule and the minimum-mean-distance rule are then utilized to pattern recognition. Experimental results show the good performance of this method in the noisy environment, as well as noise-free environment are also included.
A scale-space filtering approach for visual feature extraction
1995, Pattern Recognition
This paper presents a new integrated approach for detecting visual features which include CORNERs, ENDs, ARCs and LINEs. The effect of scale-space filtering on visual features is studied in detail as it forms the theoretical basis of our work. In this approach, the outline of the object is first extracted and it is then smoothed by scale-space filtering at different scale levels. Subsequently, the Local Extreme Curvature Points extracted from the smoothed curve and END candidates are determined to guide the termination of the filtering process. Information about the curvature of each point at the largest scale level is used to detect the different kinds of visual features. Several algorithms are proposed to determine CORNERs, ENDs, ARCs and LINEs. Experimental results show that our approach is robust to translation, rotation and scaling of the object as well as noise corruption. In addition, efficient visual features can also be successfully extracted with this approach.
