Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications

This paper focuses on producing a state-of-the-art technique for designing an image recognition system for machine vision applications. The motivation behind the new system design is to provide a unique methodology, using strategic design techniques, to implement a system that addresses real-world image recognition applications. The introduction of application-specific, massively parallel array of processors, where low-level processing is accomplished on reconfigurable hardware structures, highlights the scheme. The system was built and simulated on a VLSI chip and results were verified using Electric Rules Check and Harris Timing Analysis examination tools. The system is composed of there functional layers and a …


Adaptive Color Correlation Of Knots In Wood Images And Weighted-Value Product Selection Methods In A Machine Vision System, John Robert Goulding Oct 1996

Adaptive Color Correlation Of Knots In Wood Images And Weighted-Value Product Selection Methods In A Machine Vision System, John Robert Goulding

The biggest obstacle to robust color image processing of wood is in developing a color model that represents all possible defect colors. When the color model is too general or too specific, defect recognition fails because too many or too few non-defect pixels match the model, respectively. Because a color image of wood contains far more clear and clear-grain colored pixels than grain-knot and knot colored pixels, it is beneficial to first statistically identify and remove the clear and clear-grain colors and to use the accumulated data to simultaneously enhance and normalize the remaining grainknot and knot colored pixels. This …
