=== Project name ===

Automated Recognition between alkaline and non-alkaline AA batteries.

=== Project short description ===

The project is about building an image recognition system capable of automatically distinguish beetween alkaline and non-alkaline AA batteries given some real-time taken images. This is a task currently carried out by humans who take an average time of about 4sec per battery. The project aims to take significantly less than 4sec per battery to correctly perform the task.

=== Laboratory work and risk analysis ===

Laboratory work for this project won't include any harmful activity since it just involves a laptop, some lamps, a softbox and a camera for taking pictures.

== '''Part 2: project description''' ==

Just a little skeleton of the work (it just started and details will be added as the project develops):


- Detection and picture rectification of batteries

- Database Indexation

- Error Characterization

- Smoothing

- Other approaches: SURF/SIFT, etc
