چکیده

Kyushu Electric has developed a dual-armed mobilerobot for use in electronic distribution systems. A l though some h u m a n intervention is still required, the robot greatly reduces the demands o n the h u m a n operator. In order to automate some of the robot’s capabilities, we have developed a 3 0 object-localization method for robot’s positional adjustment. The method is designed t o be insensitive to noise and outliers while, at the same t ime , it has optimal run-time eficzency. This paper f irst describes our algorithm, and then presents a performance evaluation.

Evaluation of Similarity Measures for Template Matching

Image matching is a critical process in various photogrammetry, computer vision and remote sensing applications such as image registration, 3D model reconstruction, change detection, image fusion, pattern recognition, autonomous navigation, and digital elevation model (DEM) generation and orientation. The primary goal of the image matching process is to establish the correspondence between two ...

Robust Localization for 3D Object Recognition Using Local EGI and 3D Template Matching with M-Estimators

A tele-operated system in a robot greatly reduces the demands on the human operator, although some human intervention is still required to perform such tasks as insulator recognition, positional adjustments of the robot, and guidance toward electric lines and insulators. I n order to automate some of the robot’s capabilities, we have developed a 30 object-localization method for the robot’s pos...

A Robust Object Recognition Method Using Surface Images of 3D Objects

Robots which automatically perform outdoor work require robust and accurate environments. The authors devised a new object recognition method, comparing surface images of a target object with 2D surface image models stored in a database. First, range data is segmented into several regions to obtain stable surface images. Second, a surface image is compiled from each stable region. The surface i...
