Performance Evaluation of Human Detection Systems for Robot Safety

January 22, 2016
Author(s)
William P. Shackleford, Geraldine Cheok, Tsai H. Hong, Kamel Saidi, Michael O. Shneier
Detecting and tracking people is becoming more important in robotic applications because of the increasing demand for collaborative work in which people interact closely with and in the same workspace as robots. New safety standards allow people to work

Techniques to Evaluate Laser Scanners for Advanced Manufacturing Applications

July 23, 2015
Author(s)
Prem K. Rachakonda, Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Katharine M. Shilling, Daniel S. Sawyer, Geraldine S. Cheok, Kamel S. Saidi
Laser scanners have become indispensable tools for fast and accurate 3D image acquisition applications such as part inspection, reverse engineering, cultural heritage digitization, surveying, automotive robotic navigation etc. The Dimensional Metrology

Laser scanner two-face errors on spherical targets

November 11, 2014
Author(s)
Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Katharine M. Shilling, Daniel S. Sawyer, Prem K. Rachakonda, Vincent D. Lee, Steven D. Phillips, Geraldine S. Cheok, Kamel S. Saidi
Geometric misalignments within the construction of a laser scanner such as offsets, tilts, and eccentricities, result in systematic errors in the measured point coordinates (range and angles). Many of these sources of error are sensitive to two-face

Proposed E57.02 Range Measurement Performance Standard for Medium Range 3D Imaging Systems

November 11, 2013
Author(s)
David MacKinnon, Luc Cournoyer, Kamel Saidi, Geraldine Cheok, Robert Bridges, Darin Ingimarson
We present the proposed standard ASTM E57.02 "Test Method to Evaluate the Range Measurement Performance of 3D Imaging Systems in the Medium Range" (Work Item ASTM WK12373). The stated purpose of the standard is to provide metrics and procedures to evaluate

Real-Time Monitoring: Augmenting Building Information Modeling with 3D Imaging Data to Control Drilling for Embeds into Reinforced Concrete Bridge Decks

September 16, 2013
Author(s)
Manu Akula, Robert R. Lipman, Marek Franaszek, Geraldine Cheok, Kamel Saidi, Vineet Kamat
A major contributing factor attributed to accidents in construction is the lack of hazard recognition due to limited visibility that characterizes construction projects. Real-time monitoring systems that utilize context aware computing techniques

3D Ground-Truth Systems for Object/Human Recognition and Tracking

June 28, 2013
Author(s)
Afzal A. Godil, Roger V. Bostelman, Kamel Saidi, William P. Shackleford, Geraldine Cheok, Michael O. Shneier, Tsai H. Hong
We have been researching 3D ground-truth systems for performance evaluation of vision and perception systems in the fields of smart manufacturing and robotics safety. In this paper we first present an overview of different systems that have been used to
