Skilligent Computer Vision, Brochure [PDF]
Skilligent Computer Vision (CV) system is a software component which implements powerful object recognition and object tracking algorithms. The system is specifically designed for robotics applications including the object recognition and tracking, image stabilization, visual-based servoing, human-to-machine interaction and visual-augmented navigation.
The Skilligent Computer Vision system keeps digital object representations in an indexed structure optimized for fast searches. The software scans the video stream coming from a camera and searches for occurrences of the objects.
The computer vision software is based on algorithms resistant to
- major changes in lightening,
- partial object occlusions (up to 30-80% depending on the object and lighting conditions),
- changes of angles of view (up to 30-45 degrees),
- and camera lens distortions.
The software is based on a modified Harris Corner Detector algorithm. The software scans the video stream and extracts multiple image features. Those image features are matched against a database of known objects.
