The multimodal neighbourhood signature (MNS) method has given acceptable results both for the colour-based image retrieval and the object recognition task. Local colour content is...
An algorithm for online distance computation based on images taken in a sewer by a robot-inspector is presented. Modern concrete sewers are made of standard cylindrical pipes sepa...
We present a very simple and effective method for eliminating the degeneracy inherent in a planar scene, and demonstrate its performance in a useful application -- that of binocul...
This paper compares two techniques for measuring the length of a digital curve. Both techniques (digital straight segment approximation, minimum length polygon) are known to be co...
Amethod for quick determination of the position and pose of a 3D free-form object with respect to its 2D projective image(s) is proposed. It is a precondition of the method that a...

Industrial inspection robots, which are to move around a nuclear power plant and carry out inspection tasks, must follow a given route while observing static and dynamic features ...
This paper demonstrates the use of a simple but effective color-based inspection method in parquet slab grading. The approach is to divide the image to small rectangular regions a...
Distorted character recognition is a difficult but inevitable problem in hand-printed character recognition. In this paper, we propose a character recognition method using elastic...
