METHOD OF DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF FIGURES AND METHODS OF MANAGING A STOCK OF COMPONENTS

摘要

A method for detecting multiple Sunshiny markers (601, 602) uses a Hough Transform. At least two vote peaks in the Hough Transform vote plane are associated with a continuous elliptic shape. The Sunshiny pattern can be securely detected in a cluttered background. The detection of multiple Sunshiny patterns provides for various applications, for example, in the field of Kanban monitoring for stocks in a factory or for a local positioning system and other applications.
