Small-scale reverse vending machine with barcode processing using camera vision and opencv
The purpose of this thesis is to remake and improve the current Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) that has been existed in Swiss German University for 3 generations since 2016. with an implementation of barcode scanning as the sorting system and load cell to check whether the drinking container is empty or not. The machine will receive the container from the conveyor station, check the weight, and finally transfer it to the sorting station. The container will be sorted as cans or plastic bottle by the aid of barcode scanning and compare it to database. Unrecoverable container will be returned to the user through the outlet passage. This thesis project focused on redesign and rebuild reverse vending machine to improve its process and performance. It includes container type accepted, faster processing time, high reliability, with the implementation of a camera as the vision system, substituting the conventional barcode scanner system, which can improve the ability to read beverage container barcode. Moreover, enough database entries, user interface, and interactive design will also be implemented
