YIELD SENSOR [3 records]

Record 1 2024-12-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
CONT

An important aspect of sensor-based robotics is task verification, where a simple example is the verification of object placement using vision sensors. Vision sensor output can be processed to yield a multitude of low-level measurements, where each is inherently uncertain, which must somehow be combined to verify the location of an object.

Key term(s)
  • sensor based robotics

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications
CONT

Articulant la mise en place conjointe des capteurs de profondeur et de couleur et les algorithmes de détection de squelettes en super-temps réel, [les chercheurs] montrent combien la recherche sur les capteurs de mouvements humains a réalisé des progrès dans le champ de la communication homme-machine et permis un approfondissement de la maîtrise de la robotique de détection.

CONT

Modern technology provides a quick and accurate method for grading hogs at federally inspected plants : An electronic probe is inserted between the third and fourth ribs on the left side of the carcass. The needle has a sensor light on the end. As the needle is withdrawn from the probe site, it measures meat thickness and fat levels. These measurements are fed into a computer, which generates a yield class estimating percentage of lean meat.

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

The smallest usable element of an image.

CONT

For applications such as cartography, where it is important to precisely locate the correct position of features such as roads and boundaries, it has been difficult or impossible to evaluate the relative performance of different sensors through the standard specifications of IFOV [Instantaneous Field of View] or spatial resolution. In an effort to overcome this difficulty, a second concept... labeled spatial effective resolution element(SERE), is evolving. Although this concept is not fully developed, it provides an indication of the factors to be taken into account when attempting to correlate different systems. These factors include : surface area on the Earth, or its equivalent on the image plane, the IFOV and the spread function resulting from optical diffraction and aberrations as well as electronic lag or smear. Essentially, the concept of SERE is an attempt to determine the IFOV of the hypothetical, unsampled(ideal) scanning system which would yield performance equivalent to that of any given real sensor system. Whether such an equivalence exists is yet to be determined.
