Foreign matter detection of coal conveying belt based on machine vision

Abstract

Because of its complex working environment, most coal mines take belt conveyor as the main transportation equipment. However, in the process of transportation, due to long-time and high-intensity operation, the belt is very easy to be damaged by gangue, iron and other foreign matters doped in coal, resulting in unnecessary losses. Foreign objects in the process of belt transportation can be effectively identified by machine vision. This is of great significance to ensure coal mine safety production, improve transportation efficiency and increase enterprise income.
