30m/min. The first two rows show to black tubes (B) and the last two rows transparent (T)<br />

ones.<br />

Figure 5.11: The thin 6mm tubes are likely to be bent. The distance between the defined<br />

measuring points in the image does not represent the length of the straight tube correctly.<br />

5.3.4. Tube Diameter<br />

Beside tubes of 8mm diameter as investigated in the velocity experiments, there are also 6<br />

and 12mm diameter tubes to be considered in the DERAY-SPLICEMELT series. Therefore,<br />

the test data in this scenario includes transparent and black tubes of 50mm length<br />

with these diameters. The velocity is constant at 30m/min. Again more than 100 tubes<br />

are measured for each combination of color and diameter. The summarized evaluation<br />

results can be found in Table 5.6.<br />

Black Tubes As for 8mm tubes, 100% of the black tubes both for 6 and 12mm diameter<br />

are measured by the system indicated by a score of Ωtotal = 1. The number of per tube<br />

measurements is also approximately equal with 4.8 for 6mm diameter tubes and 4.6 for<br />

12mm tubes. The per tube standard deviation σtube is slightly larger for 12mm with 0.07<br />

compared to 0.05 at 6 and 8mm tubes. One significant difference to 8mm tubes are the<br />

larger extrema in the ground truth distance GT Dmin and GT Dmax and the definite shift<br />

in the average ground truth distance GT D. Values of −0.13 for 6mm and −0.11 for 12mm<br />

indicate the vision-based lengths are mostly shorter than the manual measurements.<br />

This has basically two different origins: Tubes with a diameter of 6mm are bent much<br />

stronger than tubes of larger diameters as can be seen for example in Figure 5.11. In this<br />

case,bothmanualaswellasvision-basedmeasurementsaredifficult. Thelengthofatube<br />

most outer points of the corresponding edges. If the tube is bent, however, the distance<br />

between the measuring points is obviously smaller than the real length. This can be seen<br />

in the ground truth distance as well as in the resulting RMSE which is significantly larger<br />

with 0.18 compared to 8mm tubes. Figure 5.12(a) visualizes the results of a sequence of<br />

21 black tubes at 30m/min. The bent tube in Figure 5.11 corresponds to the 10th tube in<br />

this plot (located between measurement number 45 and 50) and is measured significantly
