  • Patent number: 11788831
    Abstract: A six-degree-of-freedom measurement method by machine vision based on physical decoupling. A point projector capable of emitting three laser beams perpendicular to each other is placed on a measured object. A rear-projection screen is configured to allow the three laser beams to be projected thereon as three laser points. The collection of motion images is performed by a camera. Plane coordinates of the three laser points are obtained by processing a sequence image. A mathematical decoupling model is built according to a nature of sphere and a spatial position relationship of three laser beams. The plane coordinates of the three laser points are input into the mathematical decoupling model to obtain six-degree-of-freedom information of the measured object.

  • Patent number: 11755120
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for recognizing hand gestures in real-time. A shape is given as an input in a form of a binary image. The shape contour is partitioned into radial and angular spaces by an Angular Radial Bin distribution including multiple concentric circles and angular space partitions in a way that multiple angular radial sections are created denoted Angular Radial Bins. The ARB distribution is angle tilted through its centre of mass multiple times and the same procedure is repeated in order to capture a shape descriptor from different angle perspectives. A shape descriptor is calculated for each of an angle tilted instance of the ARB distribution belonging to a sequence of angle tilted instances of the ARB distribution.
