With the aim to solve issues of robot object recognition in complex scenes, this paper proposes an object recognition method based on scene text reading. The proposed method simulates human-like behavior and accurately identifies objects with texts through careful reading. First, deep learning models with high accuracy are adopted to detect and recognize text in multi-view. Second, datasets including 102,000 Chinese and English scene text images and their inverse are generated. The F-measure of text detection is improved by 0.4% and the recognition accuracy is improved by 1.26% because the model is trained by these two datasets. Finally, a robot object recognition method is proposed based on the scene text reading. The robot detects and recognizes texts in the image and then stores the recognition results in a text file. When the user gives the robot a fetching instruction, the robot searches for corresponding keywords from the text files and achieves the confidence of multiple objects in the scene image. Then, the object with the maximum confidence is selected as the target. The results show that the robot can accurately distinguish objects with arbitrary shape and category, and it can effectively solve the problem of object recognition in home environments.

Object recognition is a prerequisite to control a soft gripper successfully grasping an unknown object. Visual and tactile recognitions are two commonly used methods in a grasping system. Visual recognition is limited if the size and weight of the objects are involved, whereas the efficiency of tactile recognition is a problem. A visual–tactile recognition method is proposed to overcome the disadvantages of both methods in this article. The design and fabrication of the soft gripper considering the visual and tactile sensors are implemented, where the Kinect v2 is adopted for visual information, bending and pressure sensors are embedded to the soft fingers for tactile information. The proposed method is divided into three steps: initial recognition by vision, detail recognition by touch, and a data fusion decision making. Experiments show that the visual–tactile recognition has the best results. The average recognition accuracy of the daily objects by the proposed method is also the highest. The feasibility of the visual–tactile recognition is verified.

The complexity of the background and the similarities between different types of precision parts, especially in the high-speed movement of conveyor belts in complex industrial scenes, pose immense challenges to the object recognition of precision parts due to diversity in illumination. This study presents a real-time object recognition method for 0.8 cm darning needles and KR22 bearing machine parts under a complex industrial background. First, we propose an image data increase algorithm based on directional flip, and we establish two types of dataset, namely, real data and increased data. We focus on increasing recognition accuracy and reducing computation time, and we design a multilayer feature fusion network to obtain feature information. Subsequently, we propose an accurate method for classifying precision parts on the basis of non-maximal suppression, and then form an improved You Only Look Once (YOLO) V3 network. We implement this method and compare it with models in our real-time industrial object detection experimental platform. Finally, experiments on real and increased datasets show that the proposed method outperforms the YOLO V3 algorithm in terms of recognition accuracy and robustness.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to promote the efficiency of RGB-depth (RGB-D)-based object recognition in robot vision and find discriminative binary representations for RGB-D based objects.Design/methodology/approachTo promote the efficiency of RGB-D-based object recognition in robot vision, this paper applies hashing methods to RGB-D-based object recognition by utilizing the approximate nearest neighbors (ANN) to vote for the final result. To improve the object recognition accuracy in robot vision, an “Encoding+Selection” binary representation generation pattern is proposed. “Encoding+Selection” pattern can generate more discriminative binary representations for RGB-D-based objects. Moreover, label information is utilized to enhance the discrimination of each bit, which guarantees that the most discriminative bits can be selected.FindingsThe experiment results validate that the ANN-based voting recognition method is more efficient and effective compared to traditional recognition method in RGB-D-based object recognition for robot vision. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed bit selection method is also validated to be effective.Originality/valueHashing learning is applied to RGB-D-based object recognition, which significantly promotes the recognition efficiency for robot vision while maintaining high recognition accuracy. Besides, the “Encoding+Selection” pattern is utilized in the process of binary encoding, which effectively enhances the discrimination of binary representations for objects.

This paper proposes a new image segmentation algorithm to detect the flame image from video in enclosed compartment. In order to avoid the contamination of soot and water vapor, this method first employs the cubic root of four color channels to transform a RGB image to a pseudo-gray one. Then the latter is divided into many small stripes (child images) and OTSU is employed to perform child image segmentation. Lastly, these processed child images are reconstructed into a whole image. A computer program using OpenCV library is developed and the new method is compared with other commonly used methods such as edge detection and normal Otsu’s method. It is found that the new method has better performance in flame image recognition accuracy and can be used to obtain flame shape from experiment video with much noise.

Speaker recognition depends on specific predefined steps. The most important steps are feature extraction and features matching. In addition, the category of the speaker voice features has an impact on the recognition process. The proposed speaker recognition makes use of biometric (voice) attributes to recognize the identity of the speaker. The long-term features were used such that maximum frequency, pitch and zero crossing rate (ZCR).  In features matching step, the fuzzy inner product was used between feature vectors to compute the matching value between a claimed speaker voice utterance and test voice utterances. The experiments implemented using (ELSDSR) data set. These experiments showed that the recognition accuracy is 100% when using text dependent speaker recognition.

Driving Fatigue

In view of the nonlinear characteristics of electroencephalography (EEG) signals collected in the driving fatigue state recognition research and the issue that the recognition accuracy of the driving fatigue state recognition method based on EEG is still unsatisfactory, this paper proposes a driving fatigue recognition method based on sample entropy (SE) and kernel principal component analysis (KPCA), which combines the advantage of the high recognition accuracy of sample entropy and the advantages of KPCA in dimensionality reduction for nonlinear principal components and the strong non-linear processing capability. By using support vector machine (SVM) classifier, the proposed method (called SE_KPCA) is tested on the EEG data, and compared with those based on fuzzy entropy (FE), combination entropy (CE), three kinds of entropies including SE, FE and CE that merged with KPCA. Experiment results show that the method is effective.
