Irregular Object Dimensioning System Advisor: Professor Neal Anderson Michael Baccari Peter Bian Michael Coughlin Avi Noy Agenda Statement of Problem Requirement Specification System Block Diagram Proposed MDR Specification Summary Statement of Problem Background Sorting facilities’ conveyer belts. Components of sort system: Photo eye, laser measuring heads, set of 6 line-scan cameras. Statement of Problem (Cont’d) Background (Cont’d) Current issues with the dimensioning component. “The irregular approval.” Requirement Specification Design SDP team proposal Motivation Approach Deliverables A working prototype of the improved dimensioning system. Included with prototype: Parts list System Schematic Schematic of control box Bill of materials Program code of the user program The user program. Requirement Specification (Cont’d) Principle of Operation Actual implementation will automate following process: Object is placed on conveyer belt. User starts conveyer belt. Cameras take pictures of object, data feeds into control box. LMS 200 lasers scan the object, data feeds into control box. Control box contains microcontroller chip with dimensioning algorithms. Calculated dimensions are sent to computer via USB or network port. Dimensions are displayed on user program. Requirement Specification (Cont’d) Design alternatives Line scan cameras Pros: High resolution Cons: Taking picture of object is slow as it has to process each line of image separately. 2-D cameras Pros: High speed. Cons: Lower resolution. Requirement Specification (Cont’d) User Interface The user program contains a start button which will start the process of dimensioning the object. Input The irregular object dimensioned by the system. User places the object on conveyer belt for scanning. Output The dimensions for the optimum size box for the irregularly shaped object. Dimensioning results will be displayed in a user program which will stream the information. Requirement Specifi
