METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING ROD-SHAPED OBJECT IN IMAGE, COMPUTER DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18618186 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNIZING ROD-SHAPED OBJECT IN IMAGE, COMPUTER DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method and apparatus for recognizing rod-shaped objects in images by analyzing consecutive frames of images and determining the pose of the device capturing the images.

  • Initial rod-shaped object recognition results are obtained by detecting rod-shaped objects in multiple frames of consecutive images.
  • The method determines at least two frames where rod-shaped objects are present and calculates device pose data based on the images captured.
  • By projecting detection points from previous frames to a reference image, the same rod-shaped objects are recognized across frames.
  • Epipolar line search is used to project detection points to the reference image for accurate positioning processing based on matching points.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Detection and recognition of rod-shaped objects in consecutive frames of images.
  • Determination of device pose data for accurate object recognition.
  • Projection of detection points for consistent object recognition across frames.
  • Epipolar line search for precise positioning processing based on matching points.
  • Integration of image acquisition device data for improved object recognition.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various fields such as:

  • Object tracking in surveillance systems.
  • Industrial automation for quality control.
  • Medical imaging for identifying specific structures.
  • Robotics for object manipulation and navigation.
  • Augmented reality for enhanced visual recognition.

Problems Solved:

  • Accurate and consistent recognition of rod-shaped objects in images.
  • Efficient device pose determination for improved object tracking.
  • Seamless integration of image data for precise positioning processing.
  • Enhanced object recognition across consecutive frames for various applications.

Benefits:
