High Speed Trash Measurements

چکیده
This paper discusses the identification of trash objects in cotton using machine vision-based systems. Soft computing techniques such as neural networks and fuzzy inference systems can classify trash objects into individual categories such as bark, stick, leaf, and pepper trash types with great accuracies. High speed trash measurements, enables the implementation of these techniques for on-line identification of trash. This identification of trash objects to individual categories can be used for the dynamic allocation of trash extraction equipment during the ginning process. Such a system can be implemented in a modern gin, to configure an optimal set of equipment during ginning to produce quality cotton. Classification of cotton in real-time allows for an automated means for assignment of trash grades to cotton, and could have a significant impact on the cotton industry.

Parallel Algorithm for GPU Processing; for use in High Speed Machine Vision Sensing of Cotton Lint Trash
One of the main hurdles standing in the way of optimal cleaning of cotton lint isthe lack of sensing systems that can react fast enough to provide the control system withreal-time information as to the level of trash contamination of the cotton lint. This researchexamines the use of programmable graphic processing units (GPU) as an alternative to thePC's traditional use of the central processin...
متن کامل2225 High Speed Machine Vision Sensing of Cotton Lint Trash
As machine design in the cotton ginning industry advances, the trend is towards systems that allow for dynamic adjustment of cleaning capabilities. There is however, a lack of real-time sensors suitable for detection of the trash content that would allow for determination of the trash content before the machine performs the cleaning. Current state of the art sensors typically sense the product’...
متن کاملBoll weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) survival through cotton gin trash fans.
There is concern that cotton gins may serve as loci for reintroduction of boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, to eradicated or suppressed zones when processing weevil-infested cotton from neighboring zones. Previous work has shown that virtually all weevils entering the gin in the seed cotton will be removed before they reach the gin stand. Those not killed by the seed cotton clea...
متن کاملField trial of diatomaceous earth in cotton gin trash against the larger black flour beetle, Cynaeus angustus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae).
The larger black flour beetle, Cynaeus angustus (LeConte) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), is an agricultural and home nuisance pest in North America. In the Southern High Plains of Texas, the larger black flour beetle is associated with cotton gin trash, by-products of cotton ginning that are field stored in large piles for economic reasons. Larger black flour beetle overwinter in gin trash piles ...
