Bolting robot assistance system using image processing

摘要

The Bolting robot assistance system prevents operator to face dangerous situations. Bolting robot assistance system consists of bolting robot control system and top-view supervisory system. In order to control a bolting robot, Camshift algorithm and circular Hough transform are used. To estimate location of bolt hole, circular Hough transform is used. In order to track a bolt hole, Meanshift and Camshift are used. Camshift operates on color image represented by probability point and applies a non-parametric gradient density called Meanshift algorithm to re-center its operating window. By setting region to search a bolt hole, the algorithm will track the location of the bolt hole. In order to make top-view supervisory system, four cameras are installed at left, right, front and back of the robot. Each image from the camera is used to make the top-view image after correcting distortion. This paper proposes the image processing algorithm which is suitable for top-view supervisory system.
