Abstract: These disclosures relate to a method for detecting and removing personnel interference while measuring volume of an object. An image of an object is obtained, a background information of the image is removed, and the image is converted into a binary image. An outline of the object is detected from the binary image. A determination is made whether the outline extends towards a boundary of the field of view. If the outline of the object does not extend to the boundary of the field of view, the volume of the object is measured. Otherwise, an extending part is removed from the outline using a morphological method, if removable. If the extending part is removed, the volume of the object is measured based on an outline of the object obtained after the extended part is removed, and a class 1 warning is issued. Otherwise, a class 2 warning is issued and the measurement is ended. This approach improves efficiency of the object volume measurement.

Abstract: A method and a system measure interfering influences on a checkweighing device. In the method, external interference data are obtained, as are interference data from the checkweighing device itself and interference data from an object being weighed, by calculating or mapping the weighing error data in the stationary state, in the operating state, and in the weighing state. The system for measuring the interference uses a meter and a processing apparatus. The meter and the processing apparatus perform an interference measurement and a compensation method. The amount of interference in the checkweighing device in each state and the amount of influence of the interference on the weighing performance is obtained, thereby facilitating the production, debugging, maintenance, and use of a checkweighing device.

Abstract: A weighing method comprises the steps of: recognizing one or more objects to be detected on a first scale platform top (A) or within an object recognition area of the first scale platform top (A), and weighing the objects to be detected that are placed on a second scale platform top (B). A weighing system comprises at least two scales having scale platform tops utilizing the weighing method outlined above. The weighing method reduces the difficulty of algorithm recognition by increasing the degree to which the object on the weighting platform fits the algorithm, reduces the complexity of operation flow and the time required, and effectively increases the precision and accuracy of object recognition.
