Abstract

An intelligent sorting system based on visual recognition technology is designed to solve the safety hazards, low production efficiency and other problems in the current ocean engineering intelligent production sorting. The system uses visual recognition technology for image acquisition, detection and recognition by controlling the camera, so as to achieve accurate positioning and recognition of the pallet position and parts. The system can interact seamlessly with the sorting system and the truss PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to obtain the grabbing and stacking data of the workpieces, and guide the truss to perform the corresponding operations. At the same time, the system can also collect and feedback the results of sorting or stacking to tray of the workpieces for the automatic sorting of the sorting system. Through the intelligent sorting process, the automation and intelligence level in the field of ocean engineering intelligent production sorting can be significantly improved.
