Robot Vision Application for Bearings Identification and Sorting

Article Preview

Abstract:

An automated object recognition application type, implemented on a robotic platform, is described. It is based on an image processing algorithm that enables: the detection of objects like bearings from a pallet conveyor, the identification of bearings type and the calculus of position and orientation, in order to be manipulated by a SCARA robot. The identification algorithm developed in Matlab software consists in HSV image segmentation and a matching technique based on comparison with previous given set of bearing prototypes. The methods used for camera and robot calibration are also described.
