HIGH ACCURACY REAL TIME MACHINE VISION FOR DIAMETER MEASUREMENT USING SIMPSON ALGORITHM
Abstract
Diameter is one of the important parameters for
quality measurement. Fruit classification, for example, takes
diameter as one important indicator, apart from other indicators.
Precision measurement has been observed and experimented for
example it can be done using laser technology, however the
instrument requires a lot of space, therefore mobility is almost
impossible. When speed is necessity while doing measurement, a
real-time measurement using camera and image processing can
give a lot of contribution compared to manual measurement. This
paper introduces a diameter measurement method using Simpson
algorithm in real-time, using regular camera. Simpson algorithm
gave high accuracy measurement with high computation speed.
The design indicated good result with accuracy ranged from 93%
to 99% depending on calibration.
