【 摘 要 】
The recycling of disposed PET plastic bottles has significant meaning for environmental pollution control and resource recycling. The reuse value heavily depends on the purity of the recycled PET. In order to improve the purity of PET recycling, a new means of material identification of PET plastic bottle based on polarization vision is proposed. To identify PET plastic bottles on conveyor belt, an effective region segmentation method for plastic bottle location and feature extraction has been put forward. The polarization of the scattered light on the surface of the object contains the information of its material. To obtain robust material characteristics of the PET plastic bottle, an approximate refractive index calculation method based on the degree of polarization and phase angle is introduced. The mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation of the approximate refractive index and intensity distribution are used to construct the feature vector. The support vector machine (SVM) algorithm was used for PET identification. The experimental results show that the mean accuracy of PET plastic bottles material identification of recycled bottles is up to 92.06%.
