Gird Based Line Segment Detector and Application: Vision System for Autonomous Ship Small Assembly Line
description The shipbuilding industry demands intelligent robot, which is capable of various tasks without laborious pre-teaching or programming. Vision system guided robots could be a solution for autonomous working. This paper introduces the principle and technique details of a vision system that guides welding robots in ship small assembly production. TOF sensors are employed to collect spatial points of workpieces. Huge data amount and complex topology bring great difficulty in the reconstruction of small assemblies. A new unsupervised line segment detector is proposed to reconstruct ship small assemblies from spatial points. Verified using data from actual manufacturing, the method of this paper demonstrated good robustness which is a great advantage for industrial applications. This paper’s work has been implemented in shipyards and shows good commercial potential. Intelligent, flexible industrial robots could be implemented with the findings of this study, which will push forward intelligent manufacturing in the shipbuilding industry.
