Locating ceramics system based on computer vision

Abstract

In this paper, a locating ceramics system based on computer vision is introduced. The system is used to indirectly measure the ceramics' poses on the automatic product line of the robot spraying unburned ceramics. The structure, locating principle and method of the system are described and some application results are given. The locating principle of the system adopts the camera calibration, image segmentation through finding the valley at an image saturation histogram, and the image morphological operation. The locating ceramics system based on computer vision has been applied in practice.
