Pointer meter recognition method based on improved Hough transform
In order to solve the problems of uneven illumination and low accuracy in the automatic recognition system of pointer instruments
an Otsu algorithm and an improved Hough algorithm are proposed to process the instrument image. Firstly
the instrument image is preprocessed to enhance the characteristics of the instrument pointer area
Otsu algorithm performs the image binarization to segment pixels that only belong to the pointer
and the improved Hough transform is performed to detect the pointer. By quickly extracting the center pixel point of the dial pointer's connected area
combined with the dial center constraint
the double threshold Hough is performed on the extracted pixel point transform straight line detection. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm detects the meter reading error at about 4.76%
