Surface-Type Classification Using RGB-D

Abstract: This paper proposes an approach to improve surface-type classification of images containing inconsistently illuminated surfaces. When a mobile inspection robot is visually inspecting surface-types in a dark environment and a directional light source is used to illuminate the surfaces, the images captured may exhibit illumination variance that can be caused by the orientation and distance of the light source relative to the surfaces. In order to accurately classify the surface-types in these images, either the … Show more

“…The details are discussed in Section IV-C In our experiment, a Baxter, dual-arm industry robot, acted as the Rope Manipulator. While a Kinect2 sensor was used as the Control Point Detector based upon a method from [16]. A workstation took the role of the Central PC that was responsible for state generation, policy searches and robot control.…”

“…Nevertheless, there is always the possibility of combining the visual processed information with that of more basic and reactive sensors. Besides, RGB-D cameras are being developed quickly and at relatively low prices [31]. However, low priced RGB-D cameras are currently aimed for the game market, and, hence, they present several disadvantages.…”

“…The results of such inspections are subjective, as different human investigators will conceivably give different ratings to the same surface [7]. To eliminate the risk to people and to have objective ratings of surface condition, it is useful to be able to deploy robots into an environment and have them collect the required information autonomously [8]. The advantage of autonomous robots could be seen during the Fukushima nuclear plant crisis in 2011 when a tethered robot's communications cable became caught and was pulled out of its socket.…”
