3D Measurement Technology for Stored Garbage in Refuse Pits

Abstract

Operators of refuse incineration plants require high decision-making skills to operate the refuse crane while recognizing the amount and type of garbage in the refuse pits. However, they are faced with the problem of a declining domestic workforce. We have been working on the automatic operation of the refuse crane, and have developed a technology for recognizing garbage in the refuse pits and judging the operation to replace the operators. In this presentation, we introduce a real-time measurement technology for the garbage amount in the refuse pits, and a method for interpolating and removing outliers from the measured point clouds.
