Several papers addressed ellipse detection as a first step for several computer vision
applications, but most of the proposed solutions are too slow to be applied in real time on …

Existing edge detection methods are based on fixed logics, which are not intelligent enough
to distinguish useful edges and useless/noise edges. Recent ellipse detection methods …

This paper proposes a novel drogue measurement method based on monocular vision for
autonomous aerial refueling task in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Firstly, to solve the …

This study compares a deep learning approach with the traditional computer vision method
of ellipse detection on the task of detecting semi-transparent drinking glasses filled with …

The key to the docking phase of autonomous aerial refueling missions is the relative pose
measurement between the drogue and unmanned aerial vehicles. A novel measurement …

A novel and simple ellipse detection method is proposed in this paper. First, Canny operator
is carried on the gray image to get edge image. Second, all the edge segments are obtained …

Nuts and bolts are common components in assembly lines. Their position and pose
estimation is a vital step for automatic assembling. Although many approaches using a …

Weld defects produced by welding will destroy the quality of products. The visual detection
method of weld seam using artificial neural network has been applied in industry, but few …

This paper describes the construction of a novel stigmatic microscope and image analysis
algorithm to simultaneously analyze convective mixing both inside and outside of …

In our busy daily lives, we often lose track of the things that are most important for us and set
our priorities in a way that may be detrimental to our health in the long run. One such thing is …
