TL;DR: In this paper, a system and computer program product are provided for determining locations of seal plugs of a connector based on image analysis, which can be used to detect an area of the connector within the acquired image, performing a thresholding operation on the area within an acquired image to obtain a mask image, and applying at least one of a blob detection or a tip detection to the output image.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are provided for determining locations of seal plugs of a connector based on image analysis. Methods include: capturing an image of a connector having a plurality of openings and at least one seal plug received within at least one opening of the connector; detecting an area of the connector within the acquired image; performing a thresholding operation on the area within the acquired image of the connector to obtain a mask image; performing image post-processing on the mask image to obtain an output image; applying at least one of a blob detection or a tip detection to the output image; identifying locations of seal plugs within the output image based on the at least one of the blob detection or the tip detection; and identifying locations within the connector available for automated wire contact insertion based on the locations of the seal plugs.

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints
TL;DR: This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images that can be used to perform reliable matching between different views of an object or scene and can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.

TL;DR: Compared to state-of-the-art detection systems, YOLO makes more localization errors but is less likely to predict false positives on background, and outperforms other detection methods, including DPM and R-CNN, when generalizing from natural images to other domains like artwork.

TL;DR: RCNN as discussed by the authors combines CNNs with bottom-up region proposals to localize and segment objects, and when labeled training data is scarce, supervised pre-training for an auxiliary task, followed by domain-specific fine-tuning, yields a significant performance boost.
A Computational Approach to Edge Detection
TL;DR: There is a natural uncertainty principle between detection and localization performance, which are the two main goals, and with this principle a single operator shape is derived which is optimal at any scale.

TL;DR: A machine learning approach for visual object detection which is capable of processing images extremely rapidly and achieving high detection rates and the introduction of a new image representation called the "integral image" which allows the features used by the detector to be computed very quickly.
