“…Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the environment. The empirical data revealed that conveyor belt system had been a focus of numerous studies in terms of researching the actual amount of material on belt [4][5][6], tracking the movements [7][8][9], checking for product quality, detecting faults, speed regulation strategy and variable belt-speed energy issue for energy saving [10], etc. These researches discuss various techniques for extracting the material from the belt through computer vision techniques, such as background subtraction, canny edge detection, and morphological operations for analysis and quantification of the material to perform further processes on it to achieve their desired goals [4].…”
