In the image plane, a 3 Dimensional movement of planar rigid object can be represented satisfactory by an affine motion of his boundary (the exterior contour) which we assume to b...
In this paper, we propose a novel type of 3-D scanning system named ‘Ladder-type laser scanning system,’ designed for scanning vertical and narrow areas. Two line scanners are...
Tracking moving obstacles from a moving platform is a useful skill for the coming generation of mobile robot. The methods used in existing moving objects tracking that operated fr...
Inversion of the perspective mapping in acquired images enables an autonomous vehicle to perform vision-based navigation tasks, such as obstacle detection. We present work on affi...
Eigenpalms, a well-known approach, extracts features from palmprint images using conventional PCA technique. However eigenpalms does not exploit neighbourhood (local) information ...
This paper presents a novel golden template self-generating technique for detecting possible defects in periodic two-dimensional wafer images. A golden template of the patterned w...
This paper presents an automatic system for steel quality assessment, by measuring textural properties of carbide distributions. In current steel inspection, specially etched and p...
We propose a new approach for automatic road extraction from aerial imagery with a model and a strategy mainly based on the multi-scale detection of roads in combination with geome...

With the proliferation of different types of IC packages, there is a need for machine-vision-based inspection systems to be able to efficiently identify the orientation of IC packa...
This article presents a geometric fusion algorithm developed for the reconstruction of 3D surface models from hand-held sensor data. Hand-held systems allow full 3D movement of th...
