As our tutor is interested in cooperating with company, we are working on a project to detect tiles on the production line. Image processing with matlab, we can determine the position and rotation of the tile correctly.

Codes are below:

tic

%预设值
bwg=0.3;%二值化阈值
siz=[10700,11400];%瓷砖面积最大最小值

%统计各区域大小
I=imread('图像00012.bmp');
Ibw=im2bw(I,bwg);
I2=zeros(size(Ibw));
[L,num]=bwlabel(Ibw);
s=zeros(num,1);
for i=1:num
[r,c]=find(L==i);
[r1,c1]=size(r);
s(i,1)=r1;
end

%保留符合条件的瓷砖
Itile=zeros(size(Ibw));
for i=1:num
[r,c]=find(L==i);
[r1,c1]=size(r);
if r1>siz(1) & r1point2(1)+point2(2)
			point2(1)=r(j);
			point2(2)=c(j);
		end
		if r(j)>point3(1)
			point3(1)=r(j);
			point3(2)=c(j);
		end
	end
	loc(i,1)=round((point1(1)+point2(1))*0.5);
	loc(i,2)=round((point1(2)+point2(2))*0.5);
	if point3(2)point3(1)& c(j)==c(1)
				point3(1)=r(j);
			end
		end
		loc(i,3)=-180*atan((point2(1)-point3(1))/(point2(2)-point3(2)));
	end
end 
loc

%效果显示
I2=I;
[high,wide]=size(I);
for i=1:high
for j=1:wide
if Itile(i,j)
I2(i,j)=255;
end
end
end
for i=1:num
for j=-i:i
I2(loc(i,1)+j,loc(i,2))=0;
I2(loc(i,1),loc(i,2)+j)=0;
end
end
imshow(I);
figure,imshow(I2);

Sample pictures:

Target tiles are marked with little plus in their centers.

This is the preliminary version of codes. Later, we realize the algorithm in various embedded system using opencv.
