Description
- The goal of this project is to provide perceptual support
for an inspection robot capable of monitoring drums containing
low-level nuclear waste. Two subtasks are involved. The first
studies the use of ultrasonic data for model-based drum localization
and recognition. The second involves the use of laser stripe data
for blister and dent recongition on the surface of drums.
