Abstract: Aiming at the low efficiency and high cost of the traditional sorting process, machine vision had reliable advantages and could expedite the sorting process, study on the machine vision and image processing were carried out on a Tripod robot. A proposed method was introduced to design the visual system of Tripod robot based on LabVIEW, which simplified the sorting process as identifying, picking, and placing the geometric object. The image processing, feature extraction and locating the center by applying the algorithms of edge extraction, filtering, and center detection were conducted. The results indicate that Tripod robot system based on LabVIEW can identify the color and shape of the geometric object accurately, locate the center point and satisfy the requirements of the follow\|up control.

Key words: Tripod robot; machine vision; image processing; LabVIEW
