Radius and Orientation Measurement for Cylindrical Objects by a Light Section Sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, an efficient method based on a light section sensor is presented for measuring cylindrical objects' radii and orientations in a robotic application. By this method, the cylindrical objects can be measured under some special conditions, such as when the cylindrical objects are welded with others, or in the presence of interferences. Firstly, the measurement data are roughly identified and accurately screened to effectively recognize ellipses. Secondly, the data are smoothed and homogenized to eliminate the effect of laser line loss or jump and reduce the influence of the inhomogeneity of measurement data on the ellipse fitting to a minimum. Finally, the ellipse fitting is carried out to obtain the radii and orientations of the cylindrical objects. Measuring experiments and results demonstrate the effective of the proposed radius and orientation measurement method for cylindrical object.

متن کاملRadius of Curvature and Location Estimation of Cylindrical Objects with Sonar using a Multi-sensor Configuration
Although acoustic sensors are inexpensive and convenient to use in time-of-flight (TOF) ranging systems, they have some important limitations one of which is their low angular resolution that makes localization difficult. In this paper, an adaptive multisensor sonar system is introduced to compensate for the low angular resolution and improve the localization accuracy. The sensor configuration ...

متن کامل3-D measurement of objects in a cylindrical glass water tank with a laser range finder
In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional (3-D) measurement method of objects in liquid with a laser range finder. When applying vision sensors to measuring objects in liquid, we meet the problem of an image distortion. It is caused by the refraction of the light on the boundary between the air and the liquid, and the distorted image brings errors in a triangulation for the range measuremen...
