Abstract
Quick view
Full text preview
This paper presents both the use of depth cameras in robotic applications and effects of post-processing on the captured depth images. The performance of depth cameras and post-processing image enhancement are evaluated with the aim to improve the depth-based object detection. First, the edge-preserving exponential moving average (EMA) filter and the fuzzy contrast enhancement procedures are briefly introduced. Then, the use of depth cameras with post-processing methods is shown in the example of painting robots. The use of the stereo depth camera is essential in robotic applications, since it constitutes the initial steps in a series of robotic operations, where the goal is to both detect and extract obstacles on walls that are not intended to be painted.
