Comparison between Different Types of Sensors Used in the Real Operational Environment Based on Optical Scanning System

Abstract

The present paper describes the experimentation in a controlled environment and a real environment using different photosensors, such as infrared light emitting diode (IRLED-as receiver), photodiode, light dependent resistor (LDR), and blue LED for the purpose of selecting those devices, which can be employed in adverse conditions, such as sunlight or artificial sources. The experiments that are described in this paper confirmed that the blue LED and phototransistor could be used as a photosensor of an Optical Scanning System (OSS), because they were less sensitive to sunlight radiation. Moreover, they are appropriate as reference sources that are selected for the experiment (blue LED flashlight and light bulb). The best experimental results that were obtained contained a digital filter that was applied to the output of the photosensor, which reduced the standard deviation for the best case for the phototransistor LED from 100.26 to 0.15. For the best case, using the blue LED, the standard deviation was reduced from 86.08 to 0.11. Using these types of devices the cost of the Optical Scanning System can be reduced and a considerable increase in resolution and accuracy.

Sensor Selection Comparison Between Fuzzy Topsis Algorithm and Simple Additive Weighting Algorithm in Automatic Infuse Monitoring System Application

“…This deviation means an electrical response concerning light, where a better variation profile in terms of sensitivity and precision [22]. For the deviation value for each sensor, the authors would like to propose using Wendy's and colleague's research results [23]. Based on sensor characteristics and price, thus a decision matrix for each method was built.…”

A review of algorithms and techniques for image-based recognition and inference in mobile robotic systems

“…Optical filters are normally used to attenuate undesired wavelength, and analogue filters to remove electrical noise. 8 Measurement in real environments is also affected by accuracy and precision of the optical scanning system. Flores-Fuentes et al 8 also presented experimental evaluation of different photosensors and their suitability in different operating environments.…”

For indoor positioning or localization without any GPS support, several approaches exist including use of wireless sensors networks, 9 cameras and inertial sensors, stereo imaging, and LiDAR.…”

Real-time motion tracking of cognitive Baxter robot based on differential inverse kinematics

“…Many related researchers use Kinect sensors to obtain the position of the user's arm and provide the robot with coordinates for tracking movement. [6][7][8] Compared with traditional methods, the method of using remote sensing technology 9,10 to directly obtain the target position reduces a lot of hardware and external sensors. However, these methods are limited to the control of Schunk lightweight manipulators, 6 Nao robots, 7 and low-degree-of-freedom robots, 8 and cannot be extended to the remote operation of most 7-DOF robots.…”
