[0026] In an embodiment of the present invention, the load-bearing plate 12 is provided with crisscross marking lines 19 corresponding to the electronic virtual matrix, and indicator light beads are arranged at the intersecting positions of the marking lines 19, and the indicator light beads have corresponding identification labels. The spacing between adjacent marking lines 19 can be 1-5 cm. The light-controlled dot matrix 18 is an array formed by regularly arranged lamp beads, and the size of the lamp beads is not greater than 3 mm. The coordinates of the electronic virtual matrix correspond to the numbers of each lamp bead. The electronic graphics of the electronic virtual matrix are built into the image acquisition unit 14, MCU 17 and host computer 2, and the corresponding coordinates are set to systematically number the electronic virtual matrix, which corresponds to the lamp bead numbers.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, the image acquisition unit 14 may include an embedded electronic virtual matrix and a high-resolution camera. The high-resolution camera is further configured to capture images of the material graphic codes of materials placed at different locations on the load tray 12, generate corresponding high-resolution graphics based on each material graphic code, and convert the material graphic codes into material codes. In other embodiments of the present invention, the image acquisition unit 14 may also be a conventional high-resolution camera. The host computer 2 may include an electronic virtual matrix and a one-step graphics processing algorithm. The host computer 2 is configured to generate high-resolution graphics based on the captured images and identify the material codes of the materials placed at different locations on the load tray 12. The resolution of the high-resolution graphics is 1000 pixels to 100,000 pixels.

It receives image data transmitted by the image acquisition unit 14, analyzes and recognizes the submitted image data using existing optical character recognition (OCR) methods, obtains the material code, and generates mapping data between the material code and the electronic virtual matrix. This mapping data is dynamically updated in real time and is dynamically refreshed based on relevant data submitted by the image acquisition unit 14, enabling dynamic tracking and monitoring of the materials. The image data can be either an image captured by the image acquisition unit 14 or a pre-processed high-resolution graphic. A graphics primary processing algorithm is used to identify the material code based on the image. The coordinates of the material on the load tray 12 are determined based on the embedded electronic virtual matrix and the material code.

[0031] The crisscross marking lines 19 on the load tray 12 provide graphical support for the image recognition system. The MCU 17 is equipped with an image code recognition function, dynamically and in real time identifying the coded graphics submitted by the image acquisition unit 14, converting the corresponding graphics into a material code formed by a combination of codes in a preset image library. It also has a graphic distortion correction algorithm that effectively corrects image shadows and angle misalignments caused by the material's different positions and orientations, thereby providing the material's corresponding coordinates on the load tray 12, enabling tracking of the material's position and accurately matching it with the material code.

[0032] MCU 17 can also control switch controller 16 to illuminate light-controlled dot matrix 18 based on parameters sent by host computer 2. Weight monitoring device 13 is used to monitor the weight of the material placed on the load tray 12 and upload this information to host computer 2 to monitor weight changes on the material. All relevant information and data are processed by host computer 2 and then transmitted to backend database system 20.

When a user operates an instrument or equipment through the terminal device 3, the terminal device 3 needs to install client software based on an operating system such as Android, Windows, or IOS. After the user logs in to the material dynamic tracking system, the material dynamic tracking system can automatically generate an encrypted code with user identification information. The client software can be updated online. By releasing a new client system, the equipment functions, operation methods, and management can be upgraded.
