DETERMINING VALUES OF ANGULAR GAUGES
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more computing processors;
an angular mapper to operate on the one or more computing processors to generate an angular map from a first image of an angular gauge, wherein the angular map associates positions of a needle of the angular gauge with numerical values; and
a gauge reader to operate on the one or more computing processors to determine a value indicated by the needle of the angular gauge in a second image of the angular gauge based on the angular map.

Abstract
In various embodiments, an angular gauge reporting system (“AGRS”) may determine one or more values from an image of an angular gauge. The AGRS may receive one or more images of the gauge and develop an angular map to determine values indicated by the gauge. The AGRS may identify numbers in the image to generate the angular map. The AGRS may determine a center for the angular gauge. The AGRS may determine numerical values by processing capture images of the angular gauge though angular or linear interpolation of values. By generating the angular map prior to later determination of values, the AGRS may provide for determination of numerical values without requiring repetition of actions which may be computationally complex or resource intensive. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
