In order to detect atomization angle and uniformity of aircraft engine nozzle, a new method of computer vision is proposed in this paper. Fuzzy C-means clustering and Hough transform are introduced in spray angle and center offset test. Template self-adaptive image matching algorithms is proposed to detect uniformity. The errors of atomization angle and center offset are less than 0.5 degree. In uniformity...
Development of the tracking algorithms used in an infrared seekerhead missile requires the infrared characteristics of the target against which the missile will be directed. Mid-wave infrared recordings of such a target were made at altitude during a flight test. The measurement setup for this test is described, as well as the additional recordings required during data reduction afterwards. An exposition...
This paper describes the designed hardware and software systems (planimeters) for contactless measurement of areas (measuring the variation of oedema area's) of planar projections of laboratory rodent leap. These systems operate on the principle of processing the video signal scanned by a digital camera.
Stereo vision refers to the ability to infer information on the 3D structure of scene from two or more images taken from different viewpoints. This paper describes procedure for depth map creating using rectified stereo images and segmentation algorithm belief propagation (BP). Very necessary steps to creating depth map are camera calibration and image rectification of the image pairs. Calibration...
This paper briefly summaries relation of camera configuration and extended stereo baseline to distortions that can be caused by camera shooting. The reasons, why to use these are also mentioned in the paper. Influence of nontraditional configuration of the cameras on the depth map generation of the 3D video content has been practically described and measured. Depth map dynamic range compression and...
This paper presents an obstacle detection and avoidance of mobile robot using stereo camera for indoor environment. Block matching algorithm is solved the correspondence problem occurred in comparing stereo images (left and right sensors of the camera). The algorithm uses Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD). Left image works as a reference block to the right image and the output is disparity mapping...
Currently, the price of digital camera is decreasing and many users afford to purchase it. The digital camera can be used for many applications. The digital camera can also be used for accurate measurement such as determination of three dimensional (3D) coordinates, production of accurate measurement and generation of 3D model of objects. However, the digital camera need to be calibrated to obtain...
When viewed from below, a user's feet cast shadows onto the floor screen of an under-floor projection system, such as a six-sided CAVE. Tracking those shadows with a camera provides enough information for calculating a user's ground-plane location, foot orientation, and footstep events. We present Shadow Walking, an unencumbered locomotion technique that uses shadow tracking to sense a user's walking...
Through researched the method of the identification and location based on machine vision, location information of mature tomatoes has been obtained, which can be used to guide the automated picking operation of ripe tomatoes. The segmentation of visual system is based on the difference between the color characteristics of ripe tomatoes and background. Through the gray-scale method, the treatment of...
We propose a new encoder-friendly image compression strategy for high-throughput cameras and other scenarios of resource-constrained encoders. The encoder performs ℓ∞-constrained predictive coding (DPCM coupled with uniform scalar quantizer), while the decoder solves an inverse problem of ℓ2 restoration of ℓ∞-coded images. Although designed for minimum encoder complexity, the new codec outperforms...
Machine vision has provided great convenience for manufacturing quality inspection. To facilitate on-line capsule inspection base on machine vision, in this paper, a capsule image acquisition system and pre-processing techniques are proposed. Capsule has a cylindrical surface, let it pure rolling on a flat surface, then image it several times during its rolling can make its surface fully visible....

We present a novel technique implementing barehanded interaction with virtual 3D content by employing a time-of-flight camera. The system improves on existing 3D multi-touch systems by working regardless of lighting conditions and supplying a working volume large enough for multiple users. Previous systems were limited either by environmental requirements, working volume, or computational resources...
Recently, there are many autonomous navigation applications done in outdoor environment. However, safe navigation is still a daunting challenge in terrain containing vegetation. Thus, a study on vegetation detection for outdoor automobile navigation is investigated in this work. At the early state of our research, we focused on the segmentation of LADAR data into two classes by using local three-dimensional...
The capability to visually discern possible obstacles from the sky would be a valuable asset to a UAV for avoiding both other flying vehicles and static obstacles in its environment. The main contribution of this article is the presentation of a feasible approach to obstacle avoidance based on the segmentation of camera images into sky and non-sky regions. The approach is named the Sky Segmentation...
Mobile optical wireless has so far been limited to very short ranges for high data rate systems. It may be feasible to overcome the data rate limitations over large transmission range in optical wireless through camera receivers and light emitting transmitter arrays through a concept what we call “visual MIMO”. In this concept multiple transmit elements of a light emitting array (LEA) are used as...
2-D displays present significant visualization deficits and can hinder task performance when accurate perception of depth is required. Navigation of rugged terrain, scouting, and object detection at a distance all present limitations when viewed on traditional 2-D displays. The current investigation presents a novel use of stereo and hyperstereo image pairs to create a 3-D representation of the visual...

Digital compression of images, which is widely used to decrease the energy, time, and memory required for transmission and storage of video information, does not reduce the burden imposed on the analog-to-digital converters (A/Ds) employed for image quantization. Meanwhile this quantization is one of the most challenging problems in the design of large image sensors. Image quantization technique discussed...
