Development of technical vision hardware and software complex to improve concentration tables’ operational efficiency and range of applications

Abstract

The work is devoted to development of technical vision system for the concentration tables. It is shown that new technologies applied to the design of concentration tables will significantly help companies, specializing in extraction and handling of common minerals in deep processing of construction sands in order to obtain more expensive products. Technical vision hardware and software complex is considered as one of automation systems, that can greatly improve productivity of concentration tables, provide energy, human and essential mineral resource saving (e.g. of such minerals as titanium-zirconium raw material). Described is the mechanism of different fractions dividing on the concentration table. Shown is the process of dividing line recognition by technical vision system. Depicted is the system structure and the used elements. Pictured is the software general operation including camera image analysis before making decisions and hardware control.
