The automated detection of structural elements (eg, columns and beams) from visual data
can be used to facilitate many construction and maintenance applications. The research in …

There are over 600,000 bridges in the US, and not all of them can be inspected and
maintained within the specified time frame. This is because manually inspecting bridges is a …

In this paper we propose a comprehensive method for detecting straight line segments in
any digital image, accurately controlling both false positive and false negative detections …

Automated feature extraction from drone-based image point clouds (DIPC) is of paramount
importance in precision agriculture (PA). PA is blessed with mechanized row seedlings to …

Current postearthquake inspection of structures relies on certified inspectors to make an
assessment of the existing safety of the structure based primarily on qualitative measures …

This paper presents an original 2D LIDAR SLAM based on point and line features to the
underground tunnel environment. In our algorithm, the point features are extracted by using …

Detecting straight lines in video plays a fundamental role in camera-based industrial
automation. With the increasing demands on production efficiency, detection speed has …

摘要直线特征反映了图像内容的几何信息, 是图像理解, 分析等高层处理及应用中的基本元素.
针对人造目标图像, 提出了一种基于边缘连接的快速直线段检测算法. 此算法利用Canny …

Global voting schemes based on the Hough transform (HT) have been widely used to
robustly detect lines in images. However, since the votes do not take line connectivity into …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most promising materials for nanoelectronic
applications. Before bringing CNTs into large-scale production, a reliable nanorobotic …
