Development of pallet recognition system using kinect camera

Abstract

This study proposes a new pallet recognition system using Kinect camera. Depth image of Kinect camera is produced from the infrared ray data of random dot type. This system was applied to an automated guided vehicle(AGV) to recognize the pallet in various conditions. A modularized hardware and software of the pallet recognition system was developed. The performance of the developed pallet recognition system was tested through experiments under various environment, and it show good performance. © 2014 SERSC.
