Need Help with Image Processing using Mathematica
Date:Mon, 5 Oct 2009 21:21:24 +0100
I have been playing around with image processing using Mathematica and have started to do some reading to learn some of the fundamentals of image processing. I want to be able to build a machine that can recognize basic hardware items nuts, bolts, washers, screws, springs, ... as they go down a conveyor belt in single file and also once they are identified classify them by size. I plan to have a digital camera take a picture of the item as it passes by and then do some image processing in Mathematica to determine the type of object and size. After I master some of the fundementals, what books should I read on image processing and topics, algorithms on image processing should I study in more depth to learn how to do this specific type of object recognition? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There are lots of books on image processing. Personally I like the Handbook of Image Processing by John Russ because it deals with a very wide variety of subjects/samples (i.e. it's not all medical or remote sensing - it has lots of different scenes). Perhaps there is a book more targeted towards machine vision (industrial inspection) that would be more focused for what you want.

I think few textbooks address shape recognition. It's a relatively
advanced topic that texts liks Gonzalez and Woods or Jain simply don't
have enough pages to cover.

Two important papers on shape recognition are:
Active Appearance Models (Cootes)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_appearance_model
http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/old/723056.html
Scale-invariant feature transform (Lowe)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale-invariant_feature_transform
http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~lowe/papers/ijcv04.pdf
In both cases, you can probably find free source code on the web
to get started. But Matlab is much more popular for imaging than
Mathematica.

I would also search for free sources on the web. A little googling led me to some articles, that i find quite interesting to start with: http://internationalmathematicasymposium.org/IMS2006/IMS2006_CD/articles/Jankowski.pdf http://www.izbi.uni-leipzig.de/izbi/publikationen/publi_2004/IMS2004_JankowskiKuska.pdf After gooling for the person who wrote this articles i found out that he instructs a image processing course based on mathematica with some notebooks on his course-site (http://usm.maine.edu/~mjankowski/docs/ele489/index.htm). With some background in mathematica i think its better to have a look at such sources than buying an very expensive book with some very special topics (except you have a good library near by).
