Abstract:
In order to reduce the power consumption of the belt conveyor which works traditionally with constant power, a study is made on the technique for real-time detection of the load of coal currently conveyed on belt using image processing method, and based on result of study, an AI identification system is developed. Application of the system proves to be capable of meeting the requirement for detection of the load of coal normally conveyed on belt. Moreover, the system enjoys the merits of being compact in size, low in cost, high in detection accuracy and easy to mount on site. Its use offers a new solution to realization of automatic operation for this purpose.
