Automated Object Shape Recognition (69)
Problem: Develop method for rapid, automated classification or recognition of objects based on shape
Project Activity Scope (from Technical Overview Chart): Interaction Mechanisms through Measurement & Analysis System Applications
PNNL Solution:
- Performed Fourier analysis of object shape; this enabled rapid classification/recognition
- Prepared Fourier transform filters (FTFs) for target shapes
- Used Bench-top Optical Correlator with FTFs for method evaluation
- Conducted tests to demonstrate classification method performance
Capabilities Employed to Meet Client Needs: Optical Fourier transform analysis; optical correlator for parallel processing of image data; digital image processing; software development; smart multiplexed Fourier filter development.
