Assessment of the Possibility of Using the System Technical Vision for Marking Control Finished Dairy Products
In modern production processes, the labor intensity of marking operations is a significant share. Practically, the entire range of food products is subject to labeling. The article emphasizes the ever-growing complexity of quality control of manufactured food products and their multiple falsification. Existing methods and means of marking are considered and analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of existing systems are shown. The article analyzes the possibility of using vision systems to automate the quality control of dairy products labeling. The general scheme of research is given. The solution of the following tasks by the technical vision system was considered: obtaining and classifying images, detecting objects (bottles of kefir); processing of the received image and semantic segmentation; segmentation of etiquette instances according to the received data.The conducted studies allowed us to conclude that it is promising to use a vision system for these purposes. The composition of the technical vision system is presented. The most effective algorithm for processing the resulting image for solving the tasks was chosen. The optimal type of camera is proposed, the characteristics of the developed system for automatic quality control of marking are given, indicating the exposure time and the verification time after image transformation. Various image levels are presented and their influence on the quality of the result obtained is considered. Using the selected algorithm, experimental studies were carried out on scanning an object with a vision system. the choice of the optimal location of the video sensors was made. A block for processing the input image and scanning boundary settings for both sides of the scanned object has been developed. As a result of the research, the article concludes that it is promising to introduce a digital system for automatic quality control of dairy products labeling based on the use of a vision system.
