stem and leaf analysis system applied in the smoke production process

摘要

The stalk and leaf analysis system applied to the smoke production process of the present invention comprises a stalk and leaf analysis system applied to the smoke production process comprising a system using image processing and learning algorithms. of a machine to continuously estimate the particle size and particle percentage of the particles separated in one stage, this system being coupled to the waterfall or in the wind tunnel itself. The vision system performs image analysis to ignore portions that correspond to the background of the scene and account for areas corresponding to blade and stem particles of different sizes. The ratio between areas is used as a reference for the estimation of grain size and percentage of stalk. Thus, the system developed and claimed in the present invention seeks to minimize the occurrence of separate stalk particles as if they were blade and to maximize the size of the blade particles automatically without the need for manual separation and control by the operator.
