Method of controlling the movement of large metal products with the use of algorithms for localization and recognition of bar code markings

The article substantiates the relevance of the conducted research and determined the scope of application of the developed algorithm. Private problem of identification of tubular products and slabs at Vyksa Steel Works is considered. The article shows analysis of modern developments in the field of localization and identification markings of industrial products. It shows the description of the localization algorithm of symbolic images and bar-code labelling on industrial products. Shows lack of versatility in existing methods of localization of symbolic markings. A new method is proposed that would combine the results of several different methods using probability theory and fuzzy logic to improve accuracy of the results. This article also focuses on the mathematical description of the algorithm and provides the results of the introduction of this algorithm at Vyksa Steel Works enterprise.
