International Classification:

G06T 7/00
G01B 11/26
G01D 13/22

Abstract:

In various embodiments, an angular gauge reporting system (“AGRS”) may determine one or more values from an image of an angular gauge. The AGRS may receive one or more images of the gauge and develop an angular map to determine values indicated by the gauge. The AGRS may identify numbers in the image to generate the angular map. The AGRS may determine a center for the angular gauge. The AGRS may determine numerical values by processing capture images of the angular gauge though angular or linear interpolation of values. By generating the angular map prior to later determination of values, the AGRS may provide for determination of numerical values without requiring repetition of actions which may be computationally complex or resource intensive. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and storage media for monitoring a gauge are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, an image processing module may receive a digital image of a gauge to identify an analog value indicator of the gauge and to form an indicator representation corresponding to the analog value indicator. A geometric analysis module may determine from the indicator representation a geometric characteristic corresponding to the analog value indicator and an indicated gauge value. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
