Image Processing

Digital Photography has become one of the most simplified and effective way of capturing and using the images. Digital images are very high in quality and also with the ease of viewing, editing and transferring it to any computers or mobile devices making it a very cost effective way of managing the images (Kornhaber, Betihavas, & Baber, 2015).

Robotics and Artificial intelligence is the aspect of technology which deals with the concept of design, construction, operation and application of the Robotics field. Furthermore; the various reasons for the development of robotics and artificial intelligence, the explanation of these concepts and also their future advancements which would impact the business world will be discussed in this essay.

Another step in pre-processing is to make the image width and height divisible by 8. Let w and h represent the width and height of the image respectively. w and h are converted into w* and h* such that 8|w* and 8|h* are as follows in (1) and (2):

The system can read not only JPEG (JPG), but others. But this will make the image large

Movement a robot needs to be able to move around its environment. Whether rolling on wheels, walking on legs or propelling by thrusters a robot needs to be able to move. To count as a robot either the whole robot moves, like the Sojourner or just parts of the robot moves, like the Canada Arm.

This book explores the industries that will drive the world of change for the next 30 years in our economies and society. This book explores several of this industries including robotics, genetics, coding and Data. The Author Illustrates how advances in robotics and life sciences will change the way we live and the effects of artificial intelligence and machine.

The technology created by Microsoft for their Xbox 360 is the first of its kind. A perfect example is a device called the Kinect. This device utilizes a microphone and multiple cameras to enhance gamers’ experience, especially for game titles like Dance Central. Kinect utilizes motion detection in order to spot interaction and display it on the screen accordingly. Another function for the device is voice recognition. Rather than using a controller, the player can simply speak the commands and the Xbox will do the said action. But the use for the Kinect has also extended far beyond its gaming origins, spurring advances in medical treatment. (Knight) Using the Kinect for real-world applications, including making medical diagnoses or three dimensional modeling was an unintended side effect of the Kinect when it was released. At first, Microsoft seemed hesitant to allow people to use the Kinect for something outside of gaming, but soon it was apparent that it could be used

• Feature detection which is detecting a feature of interest on a reference image and a sensed image

The outline of the stages of the image processing pipeline is; realign (affine), skull scripting, statistical edge detector (multi-scale, multi-modal), extract statistical features, use it to build SVM. The robustness of implementation will be tested with Pixel Correspondence Metric (PCM). The same pipeline will be followed for an unsupervised approach using leave one out (LOOCV). The filter size, parametric and non-parametric features like mean, variance, rank, U Mann Whitney test etc will be evaluated and an optimal performer will be selected.

Currently DARPA has a humanoid robot challenge. They want one which will help in disaster zones. It should be able to walk, drive and do pretty much anything a human can.

The robot employs facial recognition to remember faces and recite names. It also uses sophisticated path planning to maneuver environments.

RubiQ is a hobby grade drone equipped with a barometer, compass, accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS sensor, allowing her to hold a position and return home. Together with the camera, video transmitter and video antenna, this complex array of sensors creates her first-person view (FPV) system. This system allows the pilot to become a modern-day podracer, seeing real-time video feed from the drone’s point of

fitted and be turned into a VR platform. The technology is controlled mainly by a pair of glass

The HMD could even track the user’s head movements so that the field of view would change appropriately as the user looked around.

The image is fed through two independent vision channels that then run through an image processing stabilising computer system. The computer reduces the "noise" of the image and enhances the edges of the objects seen. The surgeon can also control the movement and zoom of the endoscope camera through hand controls and foot pedals.
