Overcoming the problem of reflection, high-speed and accurate counting of the entire box of mineral water
In this issue, Xiaoming will share with you the innovative application of Akusense sensors in counting whole boxes of mineral water bottles, and how we overcame detection difficulties such as reflection to achieve high-speed and accurate counting.In industrial production, the application scenario of performing a large number of counts at once is very extensive. For example, particle counting in pharmaceutical production, micro electronic counting in food processing, and electronic manufacturing industries. These scenarios not only require counting tools to have high accuracy and speed, but also to be able to cope with various complex environments and challenges. Traditional counting tools often fall short when facing complex environments such as reflection and rapid movement.
In this issue, Xiaoming will share with you the innovative application of Akusense sensors in counting whole boxes of mineral water bottles, and how we overcame detection difficulties such as reflection to achieve high-speed and accurate counting.
Application scenario
In the production process of mineral water, every piece of mineral water on the conveyor line needs to be accurately counted to ensure product quality and production efficiency. It is known that one piece of mineral water contains 24 bottles. If the quantity does not match, an NG signal must be immediately output. At the same time, the time requirement for the entire process from IO triggering to output signal is very strict, it must be within 1 second, and the faster the better.
solution
In response to the application difficulties in this scenario, Meiji recommends using the VDS20 vision sensor series VDS20-BX0108-WD with polarizing film. Polarizers can effectively reduce reflective interference, improve image clarity and contrast, thereby enabling accurate identification of every mineral water bottle.
At the same time, the VDS20 vision sensor adopts advanced image processing algorithms and high-speed processors, which can complete the processing and analysis of large amounts of data in a very short time, thereby achieving high-speed and accurate counting.
Difficulty analysis:
Reflection issue:
Difficulty: Mineral water is separated by packaging and reflects light, causing some mineral water bottles to be unable to be accurately identified.
Countermeasure: Choose a VDS20 visual sensor with polarizing film to effectively reduce reflection interference and improve recognition accuracy.
Recognition speed:
Difficulty: Counting tools identify a large number of feature points, resulting in slow recognition speed.
Countermeasure: The VDS20 visual sensor has high-speed processing capability and can complete image capture and counting tasks in a very short time. Meanwhile, by optimizing image processing algorithms, unnecessary feature point recognition can be reduced, further improving recognition speed.
Big vision requirement:
Difficulty: A large volume of mineral water requires visual tools with a wide field of view.
Countermeasure: The VDS20 visual sensor has a large field of view and is suitable for detecting objects with large volumes. By adjusting the focal length and field of view of the sensor, it can be ensured that the entire box of mineral water can be fully captured and accurately counted.
solution
In practical applications, the VDS20 visual sensor has demonstrated excellent performance. It successfully overcame detection difficulties such as reflection and achieved high-speed and accurate counting of the entire box of mineral water bottles.
1. Installation and configuration:
Install the VDS20 visual sensor above or on the side of the conveyor line, ensuring it aligns with the position of the entire box of mineral water.
According to actual needs, configure sensor parameters such as exposure time, shutter speed, etc. to optimize image capture performance.
2. Image capture and processing:
When the conveyor line transports the entire box of mineral water to the counting area, the VDS20 visual sensor will immediately activate and capture the image.
Through built-in image processing algorithms, the sensor can quickly identify and count each mineral water bottle.
3. Signal output and alarm:
If the quantity of the entire box of mineral water does not meet 24 bottles, VDS20 will immediately output an NG signal.
This signal can trigger subsequent alarm mechanisms or stop transmission lines through the IO interface, so that staff can promptly detect and handle abnormal situations.
The application of VDS20 visual sensor in counting the entire box of mineral water bottles not only solves the problems of reflection and recognition speed in traditional counting tools, but also provides strong support for the efficient operation of automated production lines. With the continuous advancement of technology and the expansion of application scenarios, we believe that VDS20 visual sensors will leverage their unique advantages in more fields, contributing to the intelligent upgrading and high-quality development of enterprises.
