Vision System for Robotics

ABSTRACT

Vision is the most valuable sense that the automation posses because the information that it contains is extremely rich and this is achieved without the need of physical contact. The image extracted from the analog world is digitalized by using camera, the ‘eye’ of the robot, which is analyzed by the processor for the implementation of automation system. The whole process is synchronized.

The initial process of recognition is the segmentation, where the acquired image is ‘broken up’ into segments, as a part of edge detection. The final identified pixel is assigned co-ordinates and which is the input to the manipulator or the robot. In industrial view point, any machine vision system contributes to the efficiency of production, inspection or test function.

Morphological processing is efficient for the well fare of robotic in the highly competitive world of automation which provides a flexible programmability so that by using senses, which can perceive changes to the product to its environment and react accordingly thus vision system plays an important role in automation and control for robotic systems.
