Application of Computer Vision Technologies for Autonomous Pile Manipulation

Abstract

<jats:p>Modern robots can perform uncreative monotonous tasks. One of such tasks is pile manipulation. Computer vision technologies can help robots acquire additional information by analyzing a pile of complex objects. One of such complex objects is a fish. The presented work investigates the problems of complex object analysis using computer vision. This paper addresses the challenges of image pre-processing, image segmentation, fish detection and occlusion detection. This work results can be useful for developing a computer vision system for pile manipulation.</jats:p>
