A real-time pattern recognition module via Matlab-Arduino interface

Abstract

Pattern recognition is a relevant research area in artificial vision, where several methods have been proposed in the last 50 years. This paper presents a real-time pattern recognition algorithm for an addition operation through two six-sided dice using an Android camera device, an IP webcam app, a graphical user interface (GUIs) from Matlab, and Arduino technology. The methodology to develop the interface and the communication between Matlab software and Arduino technology is presented. To evaluate the performance of the proposed methodology, a real-time implementation using an Arduino Mega 2560 board and Matlab is illustrated.
