METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE RAW MATERIAL VOLUME Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC G01N15/02 

FIELD: determination of the raw materials volume.

SUBSTANCE: transport device is loaded, a video image is obtained using a video camera installed above the transport device, and the resulting video image is transmitted to the information processing unit, the material elevation profile meter is installed on the bearing surface of the transport device, the output of which is connected to the input of the calculation unit volume, while the video camera installed above the raw materials flow transmits the image to the device for selecting the object contours , the image with the selected contours enters both the unit for storing the previous frame and the unit for determining movement of the contours, the unit for determining movement of the contours transmits information to the unit for summing displacements in each zone, determining the average speed of the flow, the information from the laser ranger unit, which determines the average elevation of the raw material in each zone, is multiplied with information from the unit for summing displacements of the contours, etc. and this determines the volume of raw material passed through each zone by means of the volume determination unit.

EFFECT: enhancement of the accuracy of determining the raw materials volume, as well as increasing the scope.
