PROJECTS:
Automated Shape Identification and Segregation System, using MATLAB: Final Year Degree Project
This is an automated shape identifying System with Microcontroller 89S52 using MATLAB.
The system consists of a camera, capturing the images of the objects on conveyor belt where they are identified.
Further the image is processed to identify the shape of object using MATLAB.
After processing the microcontroller adjusts the circular segregation disc for the detected shape to fall.
Wireless SCADA Data Logger: Project I
This system is placed in an area, which is impossible for humans to reach. Eg. Furnace, deep earth crust, etc.
It detects various parameters such as temperature, humidity and sends this data to the computer system via RF transmitter.
Also the data received by the RF receiver is displayed on the LCD screen.
