The paper considers the possibility of solving the problem of improving the quality of technical vision using the contour method, which is used to position objects in mobile computer vision systems. The hardware part of the object positioning system includes two video cameras, a Raspberry Pi 3 microcomputer, a depth contour map screen, and a motor control unit. The codes of programs based on the OpenCV library, the algorithm of the system and examples of the implementation of the contour method are given. The algorithm of the developed positioning technique includes the selection of the contours of objects on the frames of a stereopair, removal of all open contours, calculation of the moment (center of mass) of each closed contour, determination of the displacement along the x-axis of the moments of the corresponding contours, filling each closed contour with points with a brightness inversely proportional to the displacement of the moments. The presence of two video cameras, a Raspberry Pi 3 microcomputer, a contour depth map screen provides stereoscopic and panoramic "vision", that is, the ability to determine the presence of objects and their distance, as well as to get an overall picture in the "field of view" of the system. The engine control unit allows mobile devices to avoid obstacles. Based on the analysis of the research results, it was found that the proposed system provides an increase in the quality of positioning of objects and a decrease in the required computing resource, which gives a significant decrease in power consumption and ensures the autonomy of the system.

Human validation of computer vision systems increase their operatingcosts and limits their scale. Automated failure detection canmitigate these constraints and is thus of great importance to thecomputer vision industry. Here, we apply a deep neural networkto detect computer vision failures on vehicle detection tasks. Theproposed model is a convolution neural network that estimates theoutput quality of a vehicle detector. We train the network to learnto estimate a pixel-level F1 score between the vehicle detector andhuman annotated data. The model generalizes well to testing data,providing a mechanism for identifying detection failures.

Detecting objects in a video stream is a typical problem in modern computer vision systems that are used in multiple areas. Object detection can be done on both static images and on frames of a video stream. Essentially, object detection means finding color and intensity non-uniformities which can be treated as physical objects. Beside that, the operations of finding coordinates, size and other characteristics of these non-uniformities that can be used to solve other computer vision related problems like object identification can be executed. In this paper, we study three algorithms which can be used to detect objects of different nature and are based on different approaches: detection of color non-uniformities, frame difference and feature detection. As the input data, we use a video stream which is obtained from a video camera or from an mp4 video file. Simulations and testing of the algoritms were done on a universal computer based on an open-source hardware, built on the Broadcom BCM2711, quad-core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC processor with frequency 1,5GHz. The software was created in Visual Studio 2019 using OpenCV 4 on Windows 10 and on a universal computer operated under Linux (Raspbian Buster OS) for an open-source hardware. In the paper, the methods under consideration are compared. The results of the paper can be used in research and development of modern computer vision systems used for different purposes.

AbstractOne of the main problems when monitoring Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes (C. elegans) is tracking their poses by automatic computer vision systems. This is a challenge given the marked flexibility that their bodies present and the different poses that can be performed during their behaviour individually, which become even more complicated when worms aggregate with others while moving. This work proposes a simple solution by combining some computer vision techniques to help to determine certain worm poses and to identify each one during aggregation or in coiled shapes. This new method is based on the distance transformation function to obtain better worm skeletons. Experiments were performed with 205 plates, each with 10, 15, 30, 60 or 100 worms, which totals 100,000 worm poses approximately. A comparison of the proposed method was made to a classic skeletonisation method to find that 2196 problematic poses had improved by between 22% and 1% on average in the pose predictions of each worm.

Computer vision algorithms are increasingly being applied to museum collections to identify patterns, colors, and subjects by generating tags for each object image. There are multiple off-the-shelf systems that offer an accessible and rapid way to undertake this process. Based on the highlights of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this article examines the similarities and differences between the tags generated by three well-known computer vision systems (Google Cloud Vision, Amazon Rekognition, and IBM Watson). The results provide insights into the characteristics of these taxonomies in terms of the volume of tags generated for each object, their diversity, typology, and accuracy. In consequence, this article discusses the need for museums to define their own subject tagging strategy and selection criteria of computer vision tools based on their type of collection and tags needed to complement their metadata.

The aim is an experimental research on the flat objects recognition using dimensionless marks of the contours of their binary images and determining the possibility of applying this method in computer vision systems of assembly robots. The main problem with the automation of assembly operations is the recognition of parts for the subsequent picking up of the robot arm. The basis for the formation of attribute vectors is the characteristics of the image contour. Recognition of a class of an unknown object consists in receipt of its contour, calculation of primary parameters and forming of a vector of dimensionless marks. Further mean square deviations of its vector of dimensionless marks from all reference are calculated. The minimum value of a deviation will specify probable belonging to the corresponding class.
