PGC-Net: A Light Weight Convolutional Sequence Network for Digital Pressure Gauge Calibration

Blog Article

Automatic digital pressure gauge calibration is challenging due to various unconstrained conditions.Although existing CNN-RNN based methods have been almost perfect on duke waves and fades scene text recognition, they fail to perform well on digital pressure gauge calibration that requires to be extremely computation-efficient and accurate.In this paper, we propose a light weight fully convolutional sequence recognition network for fast and accurate digital Pressure Gauge Calibration (PGC-Net).PGC-Net integrates feature extraction, sequence modelling and transcription into a unified framework.

Experimental results show that PGC-Net runs 28 fps on CPU with 97.41% accuracy.Compared with zak maytum previous methods, PGC-Net achieves better or comparable performance at lower inference time.Without bells and whistles, PGC-Net is capable of recognizing decimal points that usually appear in pressure gauge images, which evidently verifies the feasibility of PGC-Net.

We collected a dataset that contains 17, 240 gauge images with annotated labels for automatic digital pressure gauge calibration.The dataset has been public for future research.
