Title:
A Geometrical Descriptor Framework (GDF) for Filtering Anormalities in Polygonal Maps
Abstract:
Orbotech needs processing large polygonal maps. Sometimes the polygonal maps contains anomalities that are easy to observe by a human inspector but very hard to detect automatically. A natural approach for filtering out such anomalities is to register the polygonal map to a reference of a perfect panel and to filter out the differences. The problem is that high level of anomalous noise causes the registration process to fail. In this talk I will propose a procedure for detecting anomalities in the polygonal map without using a reference. The framework is composed of four steps: (1) Decomposition of the polygonal map into contours of equal arc-length, (2) Computing one or more descriptors for each contour, (3) Classification of the contour as either good or bad (noisy) and (4) semantic filtering of the pure noisy contours. I will describe the procedure, demonstrate its effectiveness on some examples and point to possible extensions.
