An Image Processing Method for Automatic Recognition of Pointer Meter Readings

Abstract

An image processing method for automatic recognition of pointer instrument readings disclosed by the present invention, the implementation steps are as follows: (1) Hough circle detection is performed on the image, the center and radius of the dial are located using the weighted average method, and a square image of the dial area is extracted; (2) Image preprocessing, extracting the binary value of the instrument pointer to refine the image; (3) Use the center projection method to determine the pointer angle; (4) Extract the zero scale line, full scale line position template, and calibrate the starting point and end position of the range; (5) Use the template Match to get the angle of zero scale line and full scale line; (6) Calculate the pointer reading according to the pointer angle, zero scale line angle and full scale line angle. The invention solves the problem that the relative position of the camera and the pointer meter is not fixed, which leads to the problem that the position of the meter dial on the collected image is not fixed, not only can eliminate the subjective error caused by manual reading of the meter reading, but also can improve the efficiency and accuracy , Guarantee the safety of personnel, wide application range and strong robustness.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image processing, in particular to an image processing method for automatically recognizing pointer instrument readings. Background technique [0002] In testing technology, due to its simple structure and convenient use, the pointer instrument is widely used in electric power, petroleum, chemical industry and other industries. In some test sites, such as outdoors that are not easy to observe or places that are harmful to personnel, it is difficult and dangerous to manually read the meter readings. Using image processing technology for high-precision automatic recognition of pointer meter readings can not only eliminate subjective errors caused by manual reading of meter readings, but also improve efficiency and accuracy and ensure personnel safety. [0003] Use image processing technology to carry out high-precision automatic recognition of pointer instrument readings. Firstly, the original image of the...
