Sorting System

This research focuses on the design and implementation of an intelligent machine vision and sorting system that can be used to sort objects in an industrial environment. Machine vision systems used for sorting are either geometry driven or are based on the textural components of an object’s image. The vision system proposed in this research is based on the textural analysis of pixel content and uses an artificial neural network to perform the recognition task. The neural network has been chosen over other methods such as fuzzy logic and support vector machines because of its relative simplicity. A Bluetooth communication link facilitates the communication between the main computer housing the intelligent recognition system and the remote robot control computer located in a plant environment. Digital images of the workpiece are first compressed before the feature vectors are extracted using principal component analysis. The compressed data containing the feature vectors is transmitted via the Bluetooth channel to the remote control computer for recognition by the neural network. The network performs the recognition function and transmits a control signal to the robot control computer which guides the robot arm to place the object in an allocated position. The performance of the proposed intelligent vision and sorting system is tested under different conditions and the most attractive aspect of the design is its simplicity. The ability of the system to remain relatively immune to noise, its capacity to generalize and its fault tolerance when faced with missing data made the neural network an attractive option over fuzzy logic and support vector machines.

The study of forest fire prediction is of great environmental and scientific significance. China’s Guangxi Autonomous Region has a high incidence rate of forest fires. At present, there is little research on forest fires in this area. The application of the artificial neural network and support vector machines (SVM) in forest fire prediction in this area can provide data for forest fire prevention and control in Guangxi. In this paper, based on Guangxi’s 2010–2018 satellite monitoring hotspot data, meteorology, terrain, vegetation, infrastructure, and socioeconomic data, the researchers determined the main forest fire driving factors in Guangxi. They used feature selection and backpropagation neural networks and radial basis SVM to build forest fire prediction models. Finally, the researchers use the accuracy, precision, and area under the characteristic curve (ROC-AUC) and other indicators to evaluate the predictive performance of the two models. The results showed that the prediction accuracy of the BP neural network and SVM is 92.16% and 89.89%, respectively. As both results are over 85%, the requirements of prediction accuracy is met. These results can be used for forest fire prediction in the Guangxi Autonomous Region. Specifically, the accuracy of the BP neural network was 0.93, which was higher than that of the SVM model (0.89); the recall of the SVM model was 0.84, which was lower than the BANN model (0.92), and the AUC value of the SVM model was 0.95, which was lower than the BP neural network model. The obtained results confirm that the BP neural network model can provide more prediction accuracy than support vector machines and is therefore more suitable for forest fire prediction in Guangxi, China. This research provides the necessary theoretical basis and data support for application in the field of forestry of the Guangxi Autonomous Region, China.
