Abstract:
The introduction of 3D computer graphics has led to an increase in processing capacity of the computational units monumentally along with speed, memory and transmission bandwidth. Augmented Reality (AR) has modelled remarkable progress towards real-world consumer applications. In a controlled network, identification and detection of a component in the process are difficult without the knowledge and background in the design and implementation process. Thus, the concept of device identification with the aid of AR utilising identifiers such as machine vision other than QR codes or RFID needs to be investigated. This paper proposes an optimal and efficient model utilising machine vision to detect and identify devices (robotic arms and motors) based on their positions within the manufacturing plant with the aid of augmented reality application for proffering the device details.
