Abstract
This paper presents a method for recognizing the initial position of the weld in the global environment based on corner detection technology. Through the image preprocess that include the smoothing process, the sharpening process, the region segmentation and so on, the work pieces can be segmented from the background. Based on the preprocess image, the initial position of the weld seam can be detected by the Harris operator in global environment. The Harris operator is a kind of stable algorithm of corner detection. The operator is logical and symmetrical. The result shows that this method has the characters of anti-jamming, accuracy and fast computing
