The paper presents an artificial neural network based approach to corroborate the effect of variations in illumination, distance of image acquisition and size on recognition and classification accuracies of bulk food grain image samples. Different food grains samples like Wheat, Groundnut, Green gram and Jowar are considered. The image samples are taken by varying acquisition distances, illumination and sizes. The natural light source and the minimum distance of 40 centimeters are ideal for image acquisition compared to other light sources and varying distance of image acquisition. The experimental results have shown a reduction in accuracy in all the cases other than natural lighting condition and fixed distance of acquisition. The same is true with human vision system too. Variations in image sizes also affect the recognition and classification accuracies. Hence, it is inferred that any variation in the size of the image and the distance of acquisition has an impact on the accuracy of recognition of food grain samples.

In this paper, we have presented different methodologies devised for recognition and classification of images of agricultural/horticultural produce. A classifier based on BPNN is developed which uses the color, texture and morphological features to recognize and classify the different agricultural/horticultural produce. Even though these features have given different accuracies in isolation for varieties of food grains, mangoes and jasmine flowers, the combination of features proved to be very effective. The average recognition and classification accuracies using colour features are 87.5%, 78.4% and 75.7% for food grains, mango and jasmine flowers, respectively, and the average accuracies have increased to 90.8%, 80.2% and 85.8% for food grains, mangoes and jasmine flowers ,respectively, using texture features. The average accuracies have increased to 94.1%, 84.0% and 90.1% for food grains, mangoes and jasmine flowers, respectively. The results are encouraging and promise a good machine vision system in the area of recognition and classification of agricultural/horticultural produce.

Texture and color are the important features used in identifying objects or regions of interest (ROI) in any image, be it a photomicrograph, an aerial photograph, or a satellite image. We propose a methodology for identification and classification of boiled food grains based on the level of boiling using two color models HSV and L*a*b*, in Indian context. These color models provide good texture definition for any image. The classification is performed at two levels: Level 1 determines the type of grain image and Level 2 estimates the amount of boiling, as full boiled, medium boiled and half boiled. Results show average accuracies of 80% and 96% for first level and 70% and 96% accuracies for second level classifications for HSV and L*a*b*, respectively. The work is applicable to automatic inspection of food preparations in food industry and monitoring, cooking, and serving food in restaurants, hotels and malls by service robots.

The CIECAM16 colour appearance model is currently a model with high prediction accuracy. It can solve the problem of predicting the influence of different observation conditions on the colour of gemstones. In this study, a computer vision system (CVS) was used to measure the colour of 59 bluish-green serpentinite samples, and the tristimulus values were input into the CIECAM16 forward model to calculate the colour appearance parameters of serpentinite under different surrounds, illuminances, and light sources. It was found that the darkening of the surround causes the lightness and brightness to increase. Pearson’s r of brightness and colourfulness with illuminance is 0.885 and 0.332, respectively, which predicts the Stevens and Hunt effects. When the light source changes from D65 to A, the calculated hue angle shifts to the complementary area of the A light source, which is contrary to the CVS measurement result. The D65 light source is more suitable for the colour presentation and classification of bluish-green serpentinite.

Pursuing new display techniques based on insights into human visual perception can reveal new possibilities for visual information devices. Here, we propose a novel information presentation technique that exploits the perceptional features during rapid eye movements called saccades by using a fast remote eye-measuring method. When light sources are fixed on a vertical line, and the flashing pattern is changed quickly during a horizontal saccade, 2D images can be perceived due to spatio-temporal integration in the human vision system. We use this phenomenon to present 2D images with only one-dimensional light sources, and to show these images even in midair. The flashing cycle and flash timing of light sources are important elements in developing the design theory for this display technique. The flashing cycle determines the maximum resolution of a perceived 2D image. The flash timing is a crucial issue for our purpose because 2D images are perceived only when the timing of the saccade coincides with the flash timing. Therefore, in this paper, we describe the relationship between a flashing cycle and the maximum resolution of a perceived 2D image, and then propose a concise saccade detection method. By using this method, saccades can be detected and the light sources can be flashed within the saccade interval as it occurs in real time, and 2D images can be successfully presented.

Insect monitoring methods are typically very time-consuming and involve substantial investment in species identification following manual trapping in the field. Insect traps are often only serviced weekly, resulting in low temporal resolution of the monitoring data, which hampers the ecological interpretation. This paper presents a portable computer vision system capable of attracting and detecting live insects. More specifically, the paper proposes detection and classification of species by recording images of live individuals attracted to a light trap. An Automated Moth Trap (AMT) with multiple light sources and a camera was designed to attract and monitor live insects during twilight and night hours. A computer vision algorithm referred to as Moth Classification and Counting (MCC), based on deep learning analysis of the captured images, tracked and counted the number of insects and identified moth species. Observations over 48 nights resulted in the capture of more than 250,000 images with an average of 5675 images per night. A customized convolutional neural network was trained on 2000 labeled images of live moths represented by eight different classes, achieving a high validation F1-score of 0.93. The algorithm measured an average classification and tracking F1-score of 0.71 and a tracking detection rate of 0.79. Overall, the proposed computer vision system and algorithm showed promising results as a low-cost solution for non-destructive and automatic monitoring of moths.

Проведен краткий анализ как отечественных, так и зарубежных систем межсамолетной навигации. В ходе анализа были отражены недостатки систем межсамолетной навигации и представлен актуальный подход повышения точности системы навигации за счет применения системы технического зрения. Для определения местоположения ведущего самолета предлагается рассмотреть в качестве измерительного комплекса систему технического зрения, которая способна решать большой круг задач на различных этапах, в частности, и полет строем. Систему технического зрения предлагается установить на ведомом самолете с целью измерения всех параметров, необходимых для формирования автоматического управления полетом летательного аппарата. Обработка изображений ведущего самолета выполняется с целью определения координат трех идентичных точек на фоточувствительных матрицах. Причем в качестве этих точек выбираются оптически контрастные элементы конструкции летательного аппарата, например окончания крыла, хвостового оперения и т.д. Для упрощения процедуры обработки изображений возможно использование полупроводниковых источников света в инфракрасном диапазоне (например, с длиной волны λ = 1,54 мкм), что позволяет работать даже в сложных метеоусловиях. Такой подход может быть использован при автоматизации полета строем более чем двух летательных аппаратов, при этом необходимо только оборудовать системой технического зрения все ведомые самолеты группы The article provides a brief analysis of both domestic and foreign inter-aircraft navigation systems. In the course of the analysis, we found the shortcomings of inter-aircraft navigation systems and presented an up-to-date approach to improving the accuracy of the navigation system through the use of a technical vision system. To determine the location of the leading aircraft, we proposed to consider a technical vision system as a measuring complex, which is able to solve a large range of tasks at various stages, in particular, flight in formation. We proposed to install the technical vision system on the slave aircraft in order to measure all the parameters necessary for the formation of automatic flight control of the aircraft. We performed an image processing of the leading aircraft to determine the coordinates of three identical points on photosensitive matrices. Moreover, we selected optically contrasting elements of the aircraft structure as these points, for example, the end of the wing, tail, etc. To simplify the image processing procedure, it is possible to use semiconductor light sources in the infrared range (for example, with a wavelength of λ = 1.54 microns), which allows us to work even in difficult weather conditions. This approach can be used when automating a flight in formation of more than two aircraft, while it is only necessary to equip all the guided aircraft of the group with a technical vision system
