Monitoring device for material testing machine with marker detection
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240037725A1) describes a monitoring device for a material testing machine that includes a display with a marker on a display panel. The monitoring device comprises an acquisition unit to acquire a photographed image of the display panel, first, second, and third generation units to process the image, and a first detection unit to detect the marker from the processed image. The device further includes a second detection unit to detect the position of the marker in the image, with the second generation unit adjusting the blur processing filter parameter based on the detection results.
Moreover, the monitoring device includes a trained model that uses machine learning to establish a relationship between the filter parameter value, marker position, and the probability of the marker's existence at that position. The second generation unit adjusts the filter parameter value based on the probability output from the trained model. Additionally, the device specifies a predetermined area of the display panel based on the marker's position detected by the second detection unit. The patent also covers a monitoring system incorporating the described monitoring device, camera, and display panel, highlighting the importance of accurate marker detection and image processing in material testing applications.
