Flexible approach for Region of Interest creation for shape-based matching in vision system

Abstract

This research is regarding the application of a vision algorithm to monitor the operations of a system in order to control the decision making concerning jobs and work pieces recognition that are to be made during system operation in real time. This paper stress on the vision algorithm used which mainly focus on the shape matching properties of the product. The algorithm consists of two phases, the training phase and the recognition phase. The main focus of this paper is on the development of an adaptive training phase of the vision system, which is the creation of a flexible Region of Interest capability that is able to adapt to various type of applications and purposes depending on the users' requirements. The system was tested on a number of different images with various characteristics and properties to determine the reliability and accuracy of the system in respect to different conditions and combination of different training traits. This system can be applied in industrial sectors especially for process and quality control.
