Ball sorting system based on ball-plate control model

Abstract

Ball Sorting System Based on Ball-Plate Control Model (BSBCM) is an item sorting system for single actuator. It classifies spherical objects according to the image characteristics. Different from the traditional sorting device, the system has only one actuator, which reduces the complexity of the system. This system uses the machine vision to identify the features of spherical objects and calibrate their position, and control the position of the sphere on the board through the stereo two-degrees-of-freedom plate. Different types of balls leave the plate from different positions and fall into the corresponding category. The system uses a simplified Ball-Plate control algorithm and image recognition technology to reduce the cost and hardware requirements. This design puts forward new ideas for the practical application and further research of the ball-plate control system.
