Segregation of RFID Tags using Robotic Mechanism

This paper presents an application to segregate basic geometric shapes and various colours in a two- dimensional image using image processing techniques with the help of MATLAB. The basic shapes included are circle and rectangle. We have a camera placed on the top of the mechanical conveyor belt. With the images captured by the camera, the software will perform the algorithms to identify color or shape. The sorting system uses solenoid valve which pushes different coloured objects and sorts them placing in different cups. The area of the minimum bounding rectangle is calculated irrespective of the angle of rotation of the object and ratio of this area to an area of the object is calculated and compared to the predefined ratio to determine the shape of the given object. The dominant color pixels present helps to determine the color of the object. The practical aspects of this include reducing the manual labour in industries used to segregate the products and providing real-time vision fraud. Malware is also detected before the time of downloading.
