Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent sorting, and particularly to an automatic sorting method and system for recycling resources combined with intelligent recognition. Background Art

[0002] Traditional manual sorting methods are inefficient, inaccurate in classification, and have a high risk of pollution, making it difficult to meet the requirements of automation, precision, and high efficiency in modern waste treatment.

[0003] Although existing automated sorting systems have improved the efficiency of waste classification to a certain extent, they still face multiple technical challenges. For example, many systems classify based on a single sensor (such as an RGB camera) or simple rules, resulting in insufficient recognition accuracy for complex waste components and difficulty in precisely sorting various materials of waste. In addition, due to the complexity of waste types, different shapes and sizes, and the presence of pollutants on the surface of some waste, the stability and adaptability of existing detection algorithms and equipment are insufficient to cope with complex and changing sorting scenarios. At the same time, there is also a lack of an efficient optimization scheme for obtaining the position information of waste items and the linkage control of the sorting pipeline, and the collaborative efficiency of robotic arm sorting equipment needs to be improved urgently. Summary of the Invention

Before the materials enter the storage area, the weight is recorded, and an RFID tag is used to add information such as the material category, source area, weight, and processing arrangement for each pile of waste.

[0006] Furthermore, garbage data is acquired and preprocessed through an RGB recognition camera, an infrared sensor, and a spectral analyzer, as follows: The RGB recognition camera is used to collect RGB images, obtaining the color and texture features of the garbage surface, and outputting the RGB image feature F RGB ; The infrared sensor is used to obtain the temperature and reflectivity information of the material, constructing an infrared feature vector F IR ; The spectral analyzer is used to obtain the absorption or reflection spectra of the garbage at different wavelengths, constructing a spectral feature vector F Spectral ; The RGB image feature F RGB , the infrared feature vector F IR , and the spectral feature vector F Spectral are fused to obtain the final multi-modal feature based on a deep neural network: The input layer of the deep neural network is constructed, and the features of the three modalities are respectively dimension-reduced through the embedding layer.

Finally, a compact feature vector that can be used for subsequent classification and analysis is formed; 2. Based on the multi-modal fusion features, the present invention constructs a deep learning coarse classification model to quickly classify garbage into four categories: plastic, glass, metal, and paper. At the same time, it combines the object detection algorithm to detect the position of a single item, realizing the synchronous processing of garbage classification and positioning, reducing the operation complexity, and providing accurate information for subsequent robotic arm operations; 3. The present invention divides the sorting task into two parts: rough sorting (large category classification) and fine sorting (sub-category classification), effectively improving the sorting efficiency and accuracy. Through the rough sorting pipeline, the large category classification of garbage (plastic category, glass category, metal category, paper category) is quickly completed, reducing the complexity of fine processing; the fine sorting pipeline further performs refined processing to improve the resource recycling rate.
