چکیده

A novel method is described for surface pro"le extraction based on morphological processing of multiple range sensor data. The approach taken is extremely #exible and robust, in addition to being simple and straightforward. It can deal with arbitrary numbers and con"gurations of sensors as well as synthetic arrays. The method has the intrinsic ability to suppress spurious readings, crosstalk, and higher-order re#ections, and process multiple re#ections informatively. The performance of the method is investigated by analyzing its dependence on surface structure and distance, sensor beamwidth, and noise on the time-of-#ight measurements. 2001 Pattern Recognition Society.

Analysis of morphological surface profile extraction with multiple sonar range measurements

A novel method is described for surface profile extraction based on morphological processing of multiple range sensor data. The approach taken is extremely flexible and robust, in addition to being simple and straightforward. It can deal with arbitrary numbers and configurations of range sensors as well as synthetic arrays obtained by moving a relatively small number of sensors. The method has ...

Surface Profile Determination from Multiple Sonar Data Using Morphological Processing

This paper presents a novel method for surface profile determination using multiple sensors. Our approach is based on morphological processing techniques to fuse the range data from multiple sensor returns in a manner that directly reveals the target surface profile. The method has the intrinsic ability of suppressing spurious readings due to noise, crosstalk, and higher-order reflections, as w...

Accurate profile extraction and mapping by intelligent processing of ultrasonic range data

A novel technique is described that employs intelligent processing of multiple ultrasonic range measurements for accurate surface profile extraction and mapping. It aims to overcome the intrinsic angular uncertainty of ultrasonic sensors, as well as eliminating noise and crosstalk related misreadings. Experimental verification is provided where the ultrasonic range data is acquired through wall...

Multi-Channel Morphological Profiles for Classification of Hyperspectral Images Using Support Vector Machines

Hyperspectral imaging is a new remote sensing technique that generates hundreds of images, corresponding to different wavelength channels, for the same area on the surface of the Earth. Supervised classification of hyperspectral image data sets is a challenging problem due to the limited availability of training samples (which are very difficult and costly to obtain in practice) and the extreme...

Using Wavelet Packet Transform for Surface Roughness Evaluation and Texture Extraction

Surface characterization plays a significant role in evaluating surface functional performance. In this paper, we introduce wavelet packet transform for surface roughness characterization and surface texture extraction. Surface topography is acquired by a confocal laser scanning microscope. Smooth border padding and de-noise process are implemented to generate a roughness surface precisely. By ...
