High-Speed, Small-Deformation Catching of Soft Objects Based on Active Vision and Proximity Sensing

2225 High Speed Machine Vision Sensing of Cotton Lint Trash

As machine design in the cotton ginning industry advances, the trend is towards systems that allow for dynamic adjustment of cleaning capabilities. There is however, a lack of real-time sensors suitable for detection of the trash content that would allow for determination of the trash content before the machine performs the cleaning. Current state of the art sensors typically sense the product’...

High Speed Vision Based Automatic Inspection and Path Planning for Processing Conveyed Objects

Under the pressure of cost reduction and productivity improvement, this paper presents a new methodology which provides a fast inspection of defective objects and generates a real time motion trajectory for processing objects being conveyed with high speed in an industrial large-scale production. The image data obtained by a multispectral imaging system is analyzed within image processing algor...

Trajectory Estimation of a Flying Object Using High Speed Vision for Catching

This paper presents the current progress on a trajectory estimation of a flying object for a robotic catching system, using general purpose and readily available hardware. A recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm is used to extract and predict the position of a flying object in a 3D environment with the information gathered from only one camera. Fig. 1. 3D tracking and catching task.

High Speed vSLAM Using System-on-Chip Based Vision

High-speed compressive range imaging based on active illumination.

We report a compressive imaging method based on active illumination, which reconstructs a 3D scene at a frame rate beyond the acquisition speed limit of the camera. We have built an imaging prototype that projects temporally varying illumination pattern and demonstrated a joint reconstruction algorithm that iteratively retrieves both the range and high-temporal-frequency information from the 2D...
