Autonomous Object Detection and Counting using Edge Detection and Image Processing Algorithms

Abstract

Machine vision applications are commonly utilised in manufacturing lines as low cost, high precision measuring devices. Output facilities can accomplish high production numbers without mistakes thanks to these solutions that offer contactless control and measurement. A camera may be used to carry out machine vision tasks including product counting., error checking., and dimension measuring. This study makes a recommendation for a vision system application that can do inanimate object item enumeration. The recommended solution uses Otsu thresholding., Hough transformations., edge detection methods., and other image processing algorithms to accomplish automatic counting without taking into account the kind or colour of the product. The system primarily uses one camera. The general idea is to get image with balanced contrast., brightness and appropriate HSV values in it. A picture of the items being captured using camera using android device., and different image processing techniques are then applied to the picture. Further., a real-time machine vision programme was deployed and took photos taken from an actual experimental setup. The practical experiments conducted have shown that the suggested technique yields quick., precise., and trustworthy results based on the comparative study of various detection techniques.
