Abstract:
Automatic Counting of the packed bar steel is unsolved. A new segmentation method based on quasi-circular assumption and a new object recognition method based on scanning are present. Owing to the simple addition, subtraction and logic operation, these two methods have real time property. The total CPU time is less than 1 second for an 640*480 pixels image, The experiments show that the new method can segment the aggregated bars effectively, and it can be used to improve the accuracy and the speed of recognizing and countering of irregular and aggregated objects.
