Developed an Automated Design Sorting System According to Outer Edges of Object

Abstract

The automated sorting systems are used in the industrial sectors to increase the rate of production. This research developed the sorting system by using a vision machine to detect the matching of capturing image with the storage base image. The system will be matching and sorting in real-time with 5 cm/s conveyor belt speed. The vision system is based on three stages to arrive at the sorting decision. The first stage is to covert the capturing image to a binary image, the second stage is applying edge detection of the product, and the third stage is matching this result with the base image. The system was successful to sort any product with complexity in shape and with high efficiency. The system sorting can be detected and sorted any product/machine element at any position or orientation. The system uses real-time analysis in order to provide the required results. The results arrived at the sorting gate at the end conveyer belt of the system if open that means the product matching. Three different products were selected in order to investigate the response and the accuracy of the results. It was found that the maximum of error to detect the product is not exceeding 2% for all cases.
