Abstract :
This article presents the work developed as degree thesis in informatic engineering that has been carried out at the Laboratory of Artificial Vision in the Department of Informatica and Sistemistica of the University of Pavia, in the years 1997 and 1998. The paper describes an artificial vision system based on the generalized Hough transform to find the position and the orientation of hydraulic components with the aim of driving a mechanical arm in positioning and repositioning operations. A prototype of this system has been successfully integrated with an existing industrial robot and currently is in its final testing phase in a real production environment. The vision system and its interface has been developed under the Linux operating system using the Tcl/Tk tools for the control interface and the C language for the time critical sections
