Embodiment Construction

[0047] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0048] Such as figure 1 As shown, the present invention needs some preparatory work before the number recognition. First, collect N sample images of the target instrument at the industrial site, and then select one sample as a standard image, and mark more than 4 recurring marker points on each sample image, and the number of marker points is generally taken as a typical value of 8; all images are simulated Transform to the standard image posture, collect the image template of numbers 0 to 9; record the fan-shaped area where the pointer is located and the rectangular area where the number is located on the standard image at the same time;

[0049] Such as figure 2 As shown, the meter image to be recognized and displayed in the present invention:

[0050] (1) First, the affine transformation matrix between the instrument image and the standard instru...

Abstract

The invention discloses a machine vision-based instrument display number recognition method. The method specifically includes the following steps: (1) first regress the image of the instrument display number to be recognized through a cascaded pose regressor (Cascaded Pose Regression) The affine transformation matrix of the instrument image and the standard instrument image, so as to affine transform the instrument image to be recognized to the attitude of the standard instrument image, and realize the normalization of the instrument attitude; (2) use digital recognition based on geometric constraints The method is to carry out digital indication recognition on the attitude-normalized instrument image obtained in step (1); (3) use the pointer indication recognition method based on HOG feature to perform pointer recognition on the attitude-normalized instrument image obtained in step (1). Indication recognition. The digital display and pointer display recognition method proposed by the present invention solves the problem of posture and scale in the recognition of instrument display numbers, and greatly improves the accuracy of digital display recognition and pointer display recognition accuracy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of digital image processing and instrumentation number recognition, and in particular relates to a machine vision-based instrumentation number recognition method. Background technique [0002] In industrial fields such as chemical plants, substations, and oil refineries, a large number of on-site indicating instruments are installed. These instruments do not have remote transmission functions and require on-site readings to monitor the operating conditions of industrial sites. It is time-consuming, laborious and inefficient to record the number of on-site instruments by manual inspection. Therefore, the automatic recognition technology of instrument numbers based on machine vision has broad application prospects. [0003] The machine vision-based field instrument indication recognition problem is generally divided into two situations, one is pointer indication recognition, and the other is digital indication recogniti...
