Hi, I tried Template matching. But, tiles are very much similar to each other. Only little shade difference as shown in above images. Can you suggest any other algorithm?

    Hi SwapnilBhole
    The idea is to template match using edge/canny frames. This way the color has no effect on the end result.

    Perhaps I understood you wrong. You are saying that tiles have the same pattern, but vary slightly in the shade of the whole tile? In that case, you need to make sure the lightning conditions are the same in all cases and you could classify based on color/grayscale histograms of the image.

    Thoughts?

        We have keep lightening condition exactly same for all dataset.

        But, not able to detect difference. If you share mail id, I will share dataset.

        so, you can see images very clearly.

          Hi SwapnilBhole
          The tiles seem the same to me, but there are very very slight differences in color intensity and contrast. Since they all have the same pattern, template matching won't work.
          The only thing I can think of is to look at color histograms and detect from subtle changes in color spread. But keep in mind the conditions should be the exact same and even then It will be difficult to tell (also considering the dynamic range of OAK cameras is not the best).

              Hi jakaskerl , any deep learning model using CNN will help in this. If yes, please suggest best model, so, I can try & let u know results.

                  Hi SwapnilBhole
                  I'd start simple with something like resnet18 or resnet50, though I'm unsure of the end accuracy you will achieve as the tiles are very difficult to tell apart by looking at an image. Perhaps the model is less colorblind than I am 🙂

                      Hi jakaskerl , If Resnet50 does not work then which things or which deep learning model should I try???

                        What do you mean by "does not work"?

                        Thanks,

                        jakaskerl I have OAK D pro POE kit. I have object at 4 cm apart from camera. How can I take clear photo from OAK kit? Is there any minimum working distance ? Please share necessary doument.

                        What is minimum working distance OAK-1 or OAK-1 lite?

                            If by clear photo you mean a focused RGB image - AF variant of IMX378 starts at 8cm (described in product page on shop.luxonis.com). If you mean minimum depth perception, I suggest looking here.

                            8 cm for AF 50cm for FF
