Chess recognition using 3D patterned illumination camera
2021
Computer Vision has been applied to augment traditional board games such as Chess for a number of reasons. While augmented reality enhances the gaming experience, the required additional hardware (e.g. head gear) is still not widely accepted in everyday leisure activities, and therefore, camera based methods have been developed to interface the computer with the real-life chess board. However, traditional 2D camera approaches suffer from ill-defined environmental conditions (lighting, viewing angle) and are therefore severely limited in their application. To answer this issue, we have incorporated a consumer-grade depth camera based on patterned illumination. We could show that in combinati…
Automatic Calibration of an Industrial RGB-D Camera Network Using Retroreflective Fiducial Markers
2019
This paper describes a non-invasive, automatic, and robust method for calibrating a scalable RGB-D sensor network based on retroreflective ArUco markers and the iterative closest point (ICP) scheme. We demonstrate the system by calibrating a sensor network comprised of six sensor nodes positioned in a relatively large industrial robot cell with an approximate size of 10 m × 10 m × 4 m . Here, the automatic calibration achieved an average Euclidean error of 3 c m at distances up to 9.45 m . To achieve robustness, we apply several innovative techniques: Firstly, we mitigate the ambiguity problem that occurs when detecting a marker at long range or low resolution by comparing the…
Visual Marker Guided Point Cloud Registration in a Large Multi-Sensor Industrial Robot Cell
2018
This paper presents a benchmark and accuracy analysis of 3D sensor calibration in a large industrial robot cell. The sensors used were the Kinect v2 which contains both an RGB and an IR camera measuring depth based on the time-of-flight principle. The approach taken was based on a novel procedure combining Aruco visual markers, methods using region of interest and iterative closest point. The calibration of sensors is performed pairwise, exploiting the fact that time-of-flight sensors can have some overlap in the generated point cloud data. For a volume measuring 10m × 14m × 5m a typical accuracy of the generated point cloud data of 5–10cm was achieved using six sensor nodes.
Robust Hand Gestures Recognition Using a Deep CNN and Thermal Images
2021
Medical systems and assistive technologies, human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, industrial automation, virtual environment control, sign language translation, crisis and disaster management, entertainment and computer games, and so on all use RGB cameras for hand gesture recognition. However, their performance is limited especially in low-light conditions. In this paper, we propose a robust hand gesture recognition system based on high-resolution thermal imaging that is light-independent. A dataset of 14,400 thermal hand gestures is constructed, separated into two color tones. We also propose using a deep CNN to classify high-resolution hand gestures accurately. The propose…
Three-domain image representation for personal photo album management
2010
In this paper we present a novel approach for personal photo album management. Pictures are analyzed and described in three representation spaces, namely, faces, background and time of capture. Faces are automatically detected and rectified using a probabilistic feature extraction technique. Face representation is then produced by computing PCA (Principal Component Analysis). Backgrounds are represented with low-level visual features based on RGB histogram and Gabor filter bank. Temporal data is obtained through the extraction of EXIF (Exchangeable image file format) data. Each image in the collection is then automatically organized using a mean-shift clustering technique. While many system…
Bag of words representation and SVM classifier for timber knots detection on color images
2015
Knots as well as their density have a huge impact on the mechanical properties of wood boards. This paper addresses the issue of their automatic detection. An image processing pipeline which associates low level processing (contrast enhancement, thresholding, mathematical morphology) with bag-of-words approach is developed. We propose a SVM classification based on features obtained by SURF descriptors on RGB images, followed by a dictionary created using the bag-of-words approach. Our method was tested on color images from two different datasets with a total number of 640 knots. The mean recall (true positive) rate achieved was (92%) and (97%) for a single dictionary (built only on samples …
Towards single snapshot multispectral skin assessment
2012
Skin assessment technology based on comparative analysis of single-pixel RGB signal values at poly-chromatic illumination has been proposed. Multi-spectral imaging information from a single snapshot RGB image data set with the inter-channel crosstalk correction can be extracted this way. Proof-of-concept evaluations and measurement results are presented and discussed. Potential of bi-chromatic illumination for skin hemoglobin mapping during arterial occlusion test has been demonstrated.

Tīklenes attēlu analīze diabētiskās retinopātijas radīto tīklenes izmaiņu detektēšanai
2022
Bakalaura darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 42 lappusēm. Tas satur 32 attēlus, 2 tabulas un 59 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis bija pārbaudīt, vai pastāv atšķirība starp vidējo pikseļu intensitāti fundusa attēlā, kurā redzama vesela tīklene, un attēlu ar diabētisku retinopātiju. Attēli tika ņemti no divām datu bāzēm, kurās kopumā bija 127 attēli bez patologijam un 129 attēli ar diabētiskās retinopātijas klātbūtni. Attēlu analīzei tika izmantota programma MATLAB. Pētījuma rezultāti parādīja, ka zilajam kanālam ir būtiska atšķirība, bet sarkanajam un zaļajam kanālam nav. Ir jāveic vairāk pētījumu, lai secinātu, vai ir būtiskas atšķirības pikseļu intensitātē veseliem un diabēti…
Comparison of single-spot technique and RGB imaging for erythema index estimation
2016
A commercially available point measurement device, the Mexameter(®), and an experimental RGB imaging prototype device were used for erythema index estimation of 50 rosacea patients by analysing the level of skin redness on the forehead, both cheeks and both sides of a nose. Results are compared with Clinician's Erythema Assessment (CEA) values given by two dermatologists. The Mexameter uses 568 nm and 660 nm LEDs and a photodetector for estimation of erythema index, while the used prototype device acquired RGB images at 460 nm, 530 nm and 665 nm LED illumination. Several erythema index estimation algorithms were compared to determine which one gives the best contrast between increased eryth…
