Orientation Independent Shape Detection using Tangential XOR Residue Method for Machine Vision

Natarajan Somasundaram, N. Ramadass, Y.V. Ramana Rao

Abstract



A novel technique for accurately detecting the geometrical shapes for use in machine vision is described. The technique of shape detection is based on tangential exclusively-OR residue method. A tangent is a straight line that touches a curve at only a single point. Any number of tangent lines can be joined to form a closed geometric shape. A circle can fit inside any closed geometric shape. When that circle is enlarged and exclusively-ORed with the geometric shape, residue will be produced at the point of intersection of the tangents forming the geometrical shape. The number of residue components characterizes the geometric shape, thereby detecting the shape.

Keywords

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
