Definitions
- the present invention relates to the detection of multiple flat objects in containers conveying said "V" bottom buckets of a sorting.
- the buckets are intended to transport flat objects individually between a loading location and one of a plurality of locations destination along the conveyor line, selected according to the address of the object.
- the unitary distribution of objects in the buckets is made from unstacking.
- the present invention results from a search for solution to this problem, and it consists of a process and a multiple presence detection device flat objects in "V" bottom cups of a sorting machine, downstream of the loading place, the difficulty of this detection being due in particular to fact that the objects being transported resting on their lower edge, this goes down naturally to the bottom corner of the bucket, and that by therefore, in case of multiple objects in the same scoop, their lower edges will have strongly tendency to huddle together, without present continuity solutions between them.
- the lighting is advantageously directed with a relatively grazing incidence compared to objects transported, and downstream upstream relative to direction of movement of the buckets.
- the image obtained according to the process and processed at step (3) thus brings up the lower edge an object in the form of a clear longitudinal strip in a dark background.
- a significant image of multiple presence of objects therefore includes at least one dark intermediate groove between two areas longitudinal clear.
- the heterogeneity of objects treated is not only of order dimensional, but it also relates to nature envelopes for which film material synthetic is used more and more. And in the case transparent envelopes, making step (2) requires special care to make the discrimination between the presence in the buckets of a single fold with such a transparent envelope and the presence of several objects.
- a solution is provided to this problem by providing in addition to lighting in normal light necessary for obtaining images, lighting additional in structured light such as light laser, intended to produce a transverse trace under form of a line on the image of the objects. If the object transported is a fold in an envelope plastic, which may have appeared on the image resulting from normal lighting a dark furrow intermediate between two clear areas, the trace transverse resulting from said additional lighting is not interrupted at the level of said groove dark intermediary, and this indication is essential to the incorrect indication of multiple presence of related objects upon detection on the image of said intermediate groove. If, on the contrary, several objects are transported simultaneously in the same bucket, the transverse trace resulting from said additional lighting presents a interruption at said intermediate groove, confirming the multiple presence indication relating to this last.
- said additional lighting may be emitted in the form a flat brush, advantageously vertical, from from a point below the buckets, and directed towards the up and upstream from the direction of moving the buckets; and it can further be directed with a transverse obliquity to the direction of bucket movement, to increase the legibility on the images of the interruptions of said trace from him, the interruptions then appear said trace as commas successive whose adjacent ends are markedly offset.
- FIGs. 1 and 2 they therefore illustrate a device according to the invention installed in a postal sorting machine for objects dishes with a carousel of buckets serving a plurality of destinations downstream of a loading.
- the machine is schematically represented by a block of three successive buckets G se located directly downstream of a loading station not shown, and moving in the direction of the arrow F.
- the purpose of buckets G is to convey a single object at a time, which is loaded from above and descends until it rests on the bottom by its edge lower, in the immediate vicinity of the same side for all buckets (the right side in Fig. 2) in because of a prior teasing of the objects.
- the unloading of buckets G is ensured by retraction of the bottom which, for this purpose, consists of a pivoting flap V.
- the flap V is quite steep and therefore forms a corner with the rear wall of the bucket relatively closed internal angle or point P. From this made, and as illustrated in the drawing, the objects for the most descend into the buckets until their lower edge T comes to be placed at the deepest in point P. And if inadvertently two objects (or more) were loaded in the same bucket, in the vast majority of cases, their lower slices T will be joined against each other, without no spacing, as shown in the upstream bucket at Fig. 1.
- the separation between sections lower objects in the same bucket is created in making them meet the upstream return means Ra a horizontal track S in an endless band arranged longitudinally under the trajectory of the buckets, directly downstream of their loading station, said path S, when it is crossed by the buckets, penetrating inside of them, at a level slightly above the internal bottom of buckets G in their point P, and scrolling in the same direction as the buckets G, at a speed equal to theirs otherwise slightly higher.
- the device shown in Figs. 1 and 2 includes the aforementioned means for removing the slices lower objects T, and associated means for the realization of images of the separated lower sections during their passage on track S, namely means lighting and a means of taking images.
- the device is mounted in a frame 1 comprising essentially two side plates 1a and 1b. he is arranged longitudinally under the trajectory of buckets G, close to the same side of the latter corresponding to a jogging alignment, and directly downstream of the bucket loading station.
- the endless band arrangement constituting the track S includes two identical sets in parallel, each comprising a belt 2 passing over rollers upstream and downstream, respectively 3 and 4, and a lower roller 5.
- the horizontal upper strands of the two sets constituting the path S, as well as by therefore the upper part of the idler rollers 3 and 4, are at a level slightly higher than that of the inside bottom of buckets G when crossing by them of the two sets, the buckets G presenting openings or indentations of passage 6 at the bottom of their rear wall and their flap V.
- the training of belts 2 is provided by the lower rollers 5 which, for this purpose are mounted on the same transverse axis 7 connected to a drive, not shown.
- the upper rollers 3 and 4 are mounted independently of each other on the plates side 1a and 1b, so that the space upwards between the two sets is completely clear and available for lighting and socket means images.
- the upstream idler rollers 3 have a diameter of 120 mm, track S being raised by approximately 20 mm above the inner corner P of buckets G.
- the lighting means include a source of light 10, visible in FIG. 1 but not shown in Fig. 2 for clarity of the drawing.
- Source 10 is arranged at the top and near the downstream end of the device, centrally between the two sets. It is directed longitudinally upwards and towards upstream, at an angle of about 20 ° with horizontal, on the front part of track S.
- a this illuminated area corresponds to an opening 11 in the bottom of wells G, consisting of indentations in their rear wall and their flap V.
- the gripping means of image 15 advantageously being a camera digital or laser sensor, is placed vertically, just below the illuminated area, the development being made on the plan of the track S. It is triggered by a detector 16 placed slightly in upstream of the lit area to signal the arrival of wells G.
- the detector 16 is advantageously a contactor, actuated at pessage of buckets by a stud attached to the side of these.
- main lighting is associated a lighting in structured light, for example in the form of laser line, from a source 12 placed below from main source 10.
- This light is directed to the same area as the main lighting, at an angle of about 40 ° to the horizontal, but instead of being longitudinal, it presents a certain transverse obliquity, fixed in the example shown at 25 °.
- the skate is advantageously a vertical flat brush, preferably divergent.
- Figs. 4 to 7 represent the images that we gets with a device like the one that comes to be described.
- the image in Fig. 4 is representative of a bucket empty.
- the two high and low clear lines identified 20 represent both sides of window 11 in the bottom of the bucket, and indicate that the lighting is good worked. The absence of these lines indicates a defect operating such as absence of lighting.
- Fig. 5 corresponds to the presence of a single object in the relevant bucket, appearing under the shape of a single clear transverse band.
- Fig. 6 corresponds to the presence of two objects appearing as two bands clear transverse, clearly separated by a furrow dark intermediary or border representative of the interval between lower slices of the two objects.
- the image of FIG. 7 corresponds to the case particular of a single object (transparent envelope) whose image resulting from the light source main is not sufficiently differentiated from a multiple presence image to allow a discrimination.
- this discrimination becomes obvious when seen oblique transverse 21 resulting from the lighting additional, because it is not interrupted here in the crossing of the dark intermediate furrow normally indicative of an interval between objects, and differs very clearly from trace 21 of the Fig. 6 resulting similarly from the additional lighting and which is made up of two separated segments, one of the other at the intermediate groove, and whose adjacent ends are clearly offset in the transverse direction.
- each pixel has a level value of gray or luminance between 0 and 255.
- Step 1
- the algorithm achieves a horizontal profile, Fig. 6, and determines if it has a peak, like illustrated in the graph of FIG. 8 where are reported in abscissa the horizontal coordinates of the pixels and in ordered the luminance or gray level values. As shown in Fig. 6, detection begins at mid-height of the image and scrolls down. If at the arrival at the bottom of the image, there was no detection of a peak, this indicates the absence of object in the bucket, or a lighting fault, and the distinction can be made between these two eventualities by providing in the algorithm a high trace detection and low 20 appearing in the image of FIG. 4.
- Step 2
- the previous profile, Fig. 8, allowed to determine whether or not there are any object (s) in the bucket corresponding to the image processed.
- This profile in to optimize the processing time, is advantageously achieved by summing up a few lines horizontal, so it may have variations abrupt due to system noise.
- the diagram in FIG. 9 has a profile with a peak where the first two minima A and B meet the three criteria (a), (b) and (c) and will therefore be retained for further treatment, while minima C will be ignored.
- Step 3
- the first phase of this stage it is searched line by line, from where was realized the profile, the presence of a minimum.
- the area of search is restricted based on the coordinates of the minima and two peaks surrounding it (maxima) found on the starting profile.
- maxima two peaks surrounding it
- the second phase is to determine the point the minimum of lower luminescence, which will be used to determine the starting point for the treatment of next line, exactly above or below depending on the direction of the operation. This point immediately above or below must have him also very low luminance. Otherwise, a penalty is assigned to the area explored. Point lower luminance is also used for detection of a trace 21 resulting from lighting additional in structured light (such as light laser), which detection will be performed at step following treatment.
- structured light such as light laser
- a score is calculated, which determines if the area explored is sufficient significant of a space between objects. To do this, is accumulated the number of weakest points luminescence for which the above condition of difference between maxima beyond the minimum is satisfied. This score is decreased by the number of penalties, and it is normalized with respect to the length of the contour.
- Step 4
- the algorithm stops exploring the contour considered, concluding that there is no interruption of trace 21 at the level of this contour, and that consequently, the latter does not does not correspond to a space between two objects.
- the coordinates of the ends of trace 21 are saved for the next step.
- Step 5
- trace 21 is only found in a parts of the images, and its search is therefore performed only in this part.
