Example Embodiment

[0049] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementations:

[0050] Combine figure 1 As shown, a robust automatic recognition method for pointer meter readings includes the following steps:

[0051] s1, get dashboard image

[0052] Since there may be multiple dashboards in the same photo taken, the dashboard positioning is required.

[0053] The method of the present invention adopts the hough transform method to realize the positioning of the instrument panel, and can accurately determine the instrument panel in the case of a normal resolution (1280*768).

[0054] s2. Extract the eigen image corresponding to the dashboard image, and eliminate the shadow in the eigen image extraction process

[0055] Under normal light conditions, the edge of the instrument panel will always form a shadow in a certain direction of the instrument panel. The shadow overlaps the scale line and even part of the pointer, which affects ...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of machine vision and pattern recognition, and particularly discloses a robust pointer instrument reading automatic identification method. The automatic identification method comprises the following steps: s1, acquiring an instrument panel image; s2, extracting an intrinsic image corresponding to the instrument panel image, and eliminating shadow during the intrinsic image extraction process; s3, determining the center of the instrument panel based on the intrinsic image, and then positioning the scale mark and the instrument pointer; s4, determining the location area of the numbers on the instrument panel and identifying the numbers in the location area on the instrument panel; s5, determining the relative relationship between the instrument pointer position and the scale mark according to the position of the instrument pointer, and obtaining instrument reading according to the scale reading. According to the method provided by the invention, the intrinsic image of the instrument panel is extracted to eliminate the shadow generated due to shielding by the edge of the instrument panel, and mistakes during subsequent identification of the scale mark and pointer of the instrument panel are prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of machine vision and pattern recognition, and relates to a robust automatic recognition method for pointer instrument readings. Background technique [0002] Pointer instruments are widely used in measurement work in the fields of medical treatment, machinery, chemical industry, civil engineering and petroleum exploration and development, such as gas pressure gauges for gas detection and hydraulic pressure gauges for petroleum detection. [0003] Due to their inherent advantages, these pointer instruments will still exist for a long time and will not be replaced by electronic instruments. [0004] At present, for pointer instruments, it is still necessary to manually obtain readings from the dial. [0005] Manual reading has many disadvantages, such as long time and a lot of repeated work will make the labor intensity is high, the reading error of people in the fatigue state is very large, and the scale information ...
