Abstract
Automated analog gauge reading is provided. The method comprises a computer system receiving input of an image and detecting at least one analog gauge in the image. The computer system corrects the orientation of the analog gauge in the image and detects scene text and tick labels on the analog gauge. The computer system determines a position of a pointer on the analog gauge relative to the scene text and outputs a gauge reading value based on an arithmetic progression of tick labels and angle of the pointer with respect to minimum and maximum values on the analog gauge.
