Abstract

This paper presents the design and performance of a recognition system for the identification of electronic components on scrap PCB's. The system comprises four measurement units: three optical imagers (yielding a range image, a high resolution grey-tone image and a color image, respectively), and an eddy current sensor (sensitive to electric and magnetic material properties). The system identifies batteries, electrolytic capacitors and integrated circuits. Its error rate is further reduced by fusion of the sensor outputs using strict Bayesian information integration.
