Object classification using laser scanning with camera and its applications

In a group of object, defining them with their physical differences is called object classification. Object classification also can be defined by object's special features, pattern and structure that the object belongs to a class or how close it is.There are development environments and software libraries designed for object classification. Devices like micro controller aided cameras are also used for object classification. But these devices and development environments are licensed and their costs are high. In this study purpose is to reduce the cost of object classification by using designed software libraries. These libraries use image processing and artificial neural network methods. Object recognition and classification system only uses an camera and a laser source as hardware. Object classification is done by using this hardware configuration and designed software libraries.
