This lab applies process level algorithms such as thresholding, pattern recognition, and blob detection to detect different features such as stars, plus signs, etc., as well as determining the state of traffic lights. Students begin by learning the theory and background of image processing. They will then get the chance to implement the knowledge using the mechatronic systems board and detect images using their coding skills.
After completing this lab, students will be able to:
Describe the function and purpose of binary thresholding.
Tune both grayscale and color HSL image thresholding.
Describe the function and purpose of blob detection algorithms.
Identify applications of blob detection in robotic processes.
Describe the theory and purpose of pattern matching algorithms.
Configure a pattern matching algorithm to deal with camera uncertainty.
Apply thresholding, blob detection, and pattern matching to an autonomous vehicle context.
