Recently, robotics has been receiving considerable attention in many fields, especially in mining, civil engineering and construction field because the working environment in these fields is severe for workers to work. However, it is very difficult to apply the robots or autonomous machines to these fields because the working environment changes according to the advance of the work. Therefore, robots should have an ability to understand the change of the working environment and to work autonomously.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the vision system for understanding the piled fragment rocks by using a laser slit and an image. In this study, the method to judge the existence of the piled rock was proposed by using the laser slit and image. Furthermore, the pattern of images was recognized by use of the template which was obtained in the preliminary experiment. Through this experiment, it was confirmed that this vision system worked well.
