Advanced SURF Features Based Flexible Object Detection

On the modern assembly line, the posture of flexible products can be distorted or stacked on each other, which is difficult for methods currently in effect to ensure the precision with current methods. To solve this problem, we demonstrate our method on ABB Yumi robot for flexible object detection based on SURF features with color channel prior and marginal feature optimization. Our method achieved 97.99% accuracy, which is 7.67% better than vanilla SURF.
