Robust Indoor Localization Using Optimal Fusion Filter For Sensors And Map Layout Information
(2014)
In this contribution a machine vision inspection system is presented which is designed as a length measuring sensor. It is developed to be applied to a range of heat shrink tubes, varying in length, diameter and color. The challenges of this task were the precision and accuracy demands as well as the real-time applicability of the entire approach since it should be realized in regular industrial line production. In production, heat shrink tubes are cut to specific sizes from a continuous tube. A multi-measurement strategy has been developed, which measures each individual tube segment several times with sub pixel accuracy while being in the visual field. The developed approach allows for a contact-free and fully automatic control of 100% of produced heat shrink tubes according to the given requirements with a measuring precision of 0.1mm. Depending on the color, length and diameter of the tubes considered, a true positive rate of 99.99% to 100% has been reached at a true negative rate of > 99.7.
The Render Cache [1,2] allows the interactive display of very large scenes, rendered with complex global illumination models, by decoupling camera movement from the costly scene sampling process. In this paper, the distributed execution of the individual components of the Render Cache on a PC cluster is shown to be a viable alternative to the shared memory implementation.As the processing power of an entire node can be dedicated to a single component, more advanced algorithms may be examined. Modular functional units also lead to increased flexibility, useful in research as well as industrial applications.We introduce a new strategy for view-driven scene sampling, as well as support for multiple camera viewpoints generated from the same cache. Stereo display and a CAVE multi-camera setup have been implemented.The use of the highly portable and inter-operable CORBA networking API simplifies the integration of most existing pixel-based renderers. So far, three renderers (C++ and Java) have been adapted to function within our framework.
We present an interactive system that uses ray tracing as a rendering technique. The system consists of a modular Virtual Reality framework and a cluster-based ray tracing rendering extension running on a number of Cell Broadband Engine-based servers. The VR framework allows for loading rendering plugins at runtime. By using this combination it is possible to simulate interactively effects from geometric optics, like correct reflections and refractions.
Zentrale Archivierung und verteilte Kommunikation digitaler Bilddaten in der Pneumokoniosevorsorge
(2010)
Pneumokoniose-Vorsorgeuntersuchungen erfordern die Befundung einer Röntgenthoraxaufnahme nach ILO-Staublungenklassifikation. Inzwischen werden die benötigten Aufnahmen bereits in großem Umfang digital angefertigt und kommuniziert. Hierdurch entstehen neue Anforderungen an verwendete Technik und Workflow-Mechanismen, um einen effizienten Ablauf von Untersuchung, Befundung und Dokumentation zu gewährleisten.
This report presents the implementation and evaluation of a computer vision problem on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). This work is based upon [5] where the feasibility of application specific image processing algorithms on a FPGA platform have been evaluated by experimental approaches. The results and conclusions of that previous work builds the starting point for the work, described in this report. The project results show considerable improvement of previous implementations in processing performance and precision. Different algorithms for detecting Binary Large OBjects (BLOBs) more precisely have been implemented. In addition, the set of input devices for acquiring image data has been extended by a Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) camera. The main goal of the designed system is to detect BLOBs in continuous video image material and compute their center points.
This work belongs to the MI6 project from the Computer Vision research group of the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg1 . The intent is the invention of a passive tracking device for an immersive environment to improve user interaction and system usability. Therefore the detection of the users position and orientation in relation to the projection surface is required. For a reliable estimation a robust and fast computation of the BLOB's center-points is necessary. This project has covered the development of a BLOB detection system on an Altera DE2 Development and Education Board with a Cyclone II FPGA. It detects binary spatially extended objects in image material and computes their center points. Two different sources have been applied to provide image material for the processing. First, an analog composite video input, which can be attached to any compatible video device. Second, a five megapixel CCD camera, which is attached to the DE2 board. The results are transmitted on the serial interface of the DE2 board to a PC for validation of their ground truth and further processing. The evaluation compares precision and performance gain dependent on the applied computation methods and the input device, which is providing the image material.
This report presents the implementation and evaluation of a computer vision task on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). As an experimental approach for an application-specific image-processing problem it provides reliable results to measure gained performance and precision compared with similar solutions on General Purpose Processor (GPP) architectures.
The project addresses the problem of detecting Binary Large OBjects (BLOBs) in a continuous video stream. For this problem a number of different solutions exist. But most of these are realized on GPP platforms, where resolution and processing speed define the performance barrier. With the opportunity of parallelization and performance abilities like in hardware, the application of FPGAs become interesting. This work belongs to the MI6 project from the Computer Vision research group of the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. It address the detection of the users position and orientation in relation to the virtual environment in an Immersion Square.
The goal is to develop a light emitting device, that points from the user towards the point of interest on the projection screen. The projected light dots are used to represent the user in the virtual environment. By detecting the light dots with video cameras, the idea is to interface the position and orientation of the relative position of the user interface. Fort that the laser dots need to be arranged in a unique pattern, which requires at least five points.[29] For a reliable estimation a robust computation of the BLOB's center-points is necessary.
This project has covered the development of a BLOB detection system on a FPGA platform. It detects binary spatially extended objects in a continuous video stream and computes their center points. The results are displayed to the user and where validated for their ground truth. The evaluation compares precision and performance gain against similar approaches on GPP platforms.
Für die prototypische Erstellung von Virtual Reality (VR) Szenen auf Grundlage realer Umgebungen bieten sich Daten aus aktuellen Panorama-Kameras an. Diese Daten eignen sich jedoch nicht unmittelbar für die Integration in eine Game Engine. Wir stellen daher ein projektionsbasiertes Verfahren vor, mit dem Bilder und Videos im Fischaugenformat, wie sie z.B. die 360 Kamera Ricoh Theta erstellt, ohne Konvertierung in Echtzeit mit Hilfe der Unity Game Engine visualisiert werden können. Es wird weiterhin gezeigt, dass ein Panoramabild mit diesem Verfahren leicht manuell um grobe Tiefeninformation erweitert werden kann, sodass bei einer Darstellung in VR ein grober räumlicher Eindruck der Szene für einfach prototypische Umsetzungen ermöglicht wird.
