Computer Vision Algorithm for Collision Detection in Case of Industrial Environment

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a computer vision algorithm for achieving fast collision detection. This paper presents a solution for a highly adaptable solution. The acquired depth images are used to calculate a possible collision with industrial machines. Using a robot model and marked cells on the floor any robot cinematic configurations can be checked for collisions with human detected in the workspace. The proposed approach is applicable to a variety of industrial applications where operators are under threat of accidents.
