12. Brief on the working of inductive type proximity sensor.
Inductive proximity sensors operate under the electrical principle of inductance.
Inductance is the phenomenon where fluctuating current, which by definition has a
magnetic component induces an electromotive force (emf) is a target object.
To amplify a devices inductance effect, a sensor manufacturer twists wire into a tight
coil and runs a current through it.
13. Name some feedback devices used in robotics.
Position Sensors
Velocity Sensors
14. What are the types of encoders?
Incremental encoders
Absolute encoders
15. What is frame grabber?
It is a hardware device used to capture and store the digital image.
16. Classify the position sensors.
Incremental encoders
Absolute encoders
Resistive position sensors
Linear variable differential transformer.
Encoders
Potentiometer
Resolver.
17. What is a tactile array sensor?
Tactile array sensor is a special type of force senor composed of a matrix of force
sensing elements.
18. what is meant by feature extraction and pattern recognition?
In vision applications distinguishing one object from another is accomplished by
means of features that uniquely characterize the object.A feature (area,
diameter,perimeter) is a single parameter that permits ease of comparison and
identification. Pattern recognition means classifying an image (region) into one of a number
of known classes.
19. What is meant by an object recognition?
The next step in image data processing is to identify the object the image
represents. This identification is accomplished using the extracted feature information
described. The recognition algorithm must be powerful enough to uniquely identify the
object.
20. What is meant by quantitation and morphology?
The transition between continuous values of the image function (brightness) and
is digital equivalent is called Quantitation. Morphology is the study of shapes and those
methods used to transform or describe shapes of objects
