Opis

This book represents a Robotics sketching system that can be monitored and controlled remotely, it requires building a web-based system consist of a network Camera, an Industrial Robot and a server. Through a standard java-enabled web browser, an operator will be able to control a webcam for taking snapshots, perform an image processing of the taken snapshot to get its contours, and sketch it with a robot by automatic path planning and remotely controlling the robot. The book is focused on two parts: the first part is processing a facial image to find the contours that represent the image, and the second part is representing these contours as paths for the robot to follow them. The output of the second part is the contours of the image with minimum representation of points and with the correct sequence of points for each contour. The sequence of the output contours is also represents the near optimal sequence, therefore it preserves the minimum travelling time for the robot.

O autorze

Mr. A. Mohammed earned his master degree in Industrial Informatics from the University of Skövde in Sweden in July 2011. Since then he has been working as a Project Assistant and lecturer in the Virtual Systems Research Centre of the university. His work was focused on image processing applications in adaptive manufacturing and robotics.
