Study concerning a robotic system with matlab/openCV post-processing

Abstract

The paper presents the construction and operating mode of a platform for controlling mobile robots. A number of, at least, three independent mobile robots, who are to be entrusted with the supervision of the zones, will report via a 4G transmission, with a certain frequency of a central server the current position in the geographical coordinates. Latitude and longitude will be accompanied by photos received from a high-resolution camera and these images will be processed with a certain target for identifying an object with certain features. The system will be built around a hardware architecture open-source (for example Atmel, Raspberry PI). Another target of this paper is to present an example where we are going to examine an image processing and text extraction system that will compare an implementation done using the OpenImaj SWT algorithm and the Tesseract OCR compared to a implementation done in Matlab based on MSER. These services can then be called through a restful Web Service by any application, mobile or otherwise to extract text from images.
