Master Thesis: Online Symbol Recognition Through Data Fusion of a 3D- and a Color Camera for an Autonomous Robot. Recently I finished my master thesis which was about using the Kinect to do sign recognition. (sign on the right is out of range) The goal was to improve recognition speed by only searching symbols in suitable surfaces (filtered by arrangement, distance, size and place). I wrote most of the algorithms on my own, except some stuff I used from OpenCV (e.g. warp perspective) and from ROS (gathering the images).

The most interesting stuff begins in chapter 5.

It uses the Aggregator class as to aggregate and process data. The aggregator tool loads diagnostic Analyzers as plug-ins. These analyzers can perform basic diagnostics analysis, such as testing when things are stale, or having known errors. The Aggregator should be run on a robot, and is typically launched in the robot's launch file. Author: Kevin WattsLicense: BSDSource: svn Overview. Servos and Robotics | Motor and Power Control | Analog Devices. Servo solutions are associated with attaining the highest performance and accuracy of a moving system. In most cases the end solution is a CNC or robot system that operates with high precision and where control of absolute position, along with best torque alignment, is required. Analog Devices' offers a complete solution covering all key components in the signal chain.
