Computer Vision (CV) and PLC for Object Detection with C#




This application use computer vision to object detection with shape detection. This application also use computer vision software from Emgu CV. Emgu CV is C# wrapper for OpenCV image processing library.

Emgu CV and C # provide a signal to the PLC, if circle shape then PLC Output is ON, and if box/rectangle shape then PLC Output is OFF.

See the video below:
Computer Vision and PLC to detect the top and the bottom of the bottle packaging.
