Automation of Object Sorting Using an Industrial Roboarm and MATLAB Based Image Processing

Abstract

In recent years the importance of process automation has been increased as the growth of any industry is directly depends on it. For precise output and accuracy of industrial process robots with sophisticated sensors are used. In modern era application of image processing in many industrial processes has proven its prevalence and dominance. This paper present color based object sorting system which uses the machine vision and the operations in image processing. The proposed work is to develop compact, easy and accurate objects sorting machine using real time color image processing method to continuously evaluate and inspect the color deformity using camera based machine vision. After the evaluation of quality the object is sorted into predefined quality groups with the help of pick and place roboarm. If the inspected object fails to follow quality norms it is rejected out by the system. The proposed system will have broad areas of applications in many fields where continuously evaluation of the quality is required.
