I am interested in study and do research about machine vision and integrated machine vision to control systems. I am teaching industrial automation, computer vision at my university for 2 years, so I have some experience in this area.
Machine vision integrated with vehicle is one of my main interested. I used to have a project for autonomous vehicle or AGV working in factory with my student. We use machine vision to read sign that marked in a warehouse factory to guide the vehicle to destination location. The result is quite reasonable, the vehicle can go to designate destination most of the time. However I think I can study more on this area and make this project error free. By using machine vision with other sensor such as ultrasonic sensor or other proximity sensors this will make me get more accurate location of the vehicle. The other alternative is to use stereo imaging which right now I not quite understand how this technology works and how to use information that we get from this system. However I willing to learn more on these topics and with working group that have experience people in your laboratory I can get my research done.
I also look forward to do research on new technology concerning the autonomous vehicle that using in factory or on the road. I think this is the technology of the feature and can use to improve manufacturing method in my country and also help a road safety in my country too.
