The geometry of light-striping systems is analyzed to yield an efficient method to map the locations of stripe pixels in the image to three-dimensional coordinates. Methods are discussed to determine fill-points by recognizing the pattern produced by seam walls despite noise. Combined with computation of areas and volumes, the steps simplify to an effective algorithm for microprocessor implementation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37568,"journal":{"name":"Robotics","volume":"3 2","pages":"Pages 167-173"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"1987-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0167-8493(87)90004-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81171551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
