DESIGN OF AN OBJECT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM WITH A THERMAL CAMERA

In this paper we will present and cover the study of particular tools and devices where they will be used to implement an automated object separation system. In a nutshell, it will be a system where it will separate, depending on our needs from the objects we place on its original position. More detailed, the basic tools for implementing this automation are divided into three categories. The first category will be the basis of our system the second will be the sensors and finally the third the controller and the power supply. The base of the system will consist of a motor, two rollers, a conveyor belt and a gear unit where it will control the engine speed. The sensors that will be used will be a thermal camera and a laser, where they will be located in the center of the conveyor belt with the thermal camera directly above the laser. Also our controller will be a PLC where it will give us more flexibility in the programming of the thermocamera. More specifically, in this thesis we will test bottles, i.e. by placing a bottle in our original position where it will be the center of the conveyor belt, the laser sensor will signal to activate the camera. As soon as the thermocamera is activated, the programmable analogue of each user will give the PLC information to approve or discard the bottle at its level. Then you send this information as a command to the engine to act clockwise or counterclockwise, i.e. to send the bottle to the stack with those approved or those that have been discarded. Finally, the system will be powered by PPC, but there will be a choice and usage of a photovoltaic that saves energy and makes our construction more environmentally friendly.
