Abstract:

In factory automation cameras and image processing algorithms can be used to inspect objects. This can decrease the faulty objects that leave the factory and reduce manual labour needed. A vision sensor is a system where camera and image processing is delivered together, and that only needs to be configured for the application that it is to be used for. Thus no programming knowledge is needed for the customer. In this Master’s thesis a way to make the configuration of a vision sensor even easier is developed and evaluated. The idea is that the customer knows his or her product much better than

Abstract:

The design of a visual system for autonomous mobile robots presents conflicting requirements. Using a foveated sensor, based on models of the primate retina, affords a compromise between requirements of a wide visual field, high resolution, and small fast-to-process output images. From a review of the biology literature and existing models of data reduction performed by the primate retina, it becomes apparent that overlapping receptive field models are more biologically realistic than nonoverlapping ones. They also provide more flexibility in terms of the type of computation masks that can be

Abstract:

The usage of inertial sensors has traditionally been confined primarily to the aviation and marine industry due to their associated cost and bulkiness. During the last decade, however, inertial sensors have undergone a rather dramatic reduction in both size and cost with the introduction of MEMS technology. As a result of this trend, inertial sensors have become commonplace for many applications and can even be found in many consumer products, for instance smart phones, cameras and game consoles. Due to the drift inherent in inertial technology, inertial sensors are typically used in combinati

Abstract:

<p>This thesis considers the problem of tracking multiple static or moving targets with one single pan/tilt-camera with a limited field of view. The objective is to minimize both the time needed to pan and tilt the camera's view between the targets and the total position uncertainty of all targets. To solve this problem, several planning methods have been developed and evaluated by Monte Carlo simulations and real world experiments. If the targets are moving and their true positions are unknown, both their current and future positions need to be estimated in order to calculate the best sensor

In the presence of these limited resources, a VSN is expected to perform complex vision tasks for a long duration of time without battery replacement/recharging.

It can track one or multiple colours, or a combination of colours.
