STD Approach for Simulation, Control and Visualization of Color-sorting Machine

The paper deals with simulation, control and visualization of color-sorting machine. It is based on Matlab family products. In particular, Matlab R2007b and Simulink as a general simulation environment, with Stateflow to simulate STD-based models. Virtual Reality Toolbox for 3D visualization and Real Time Toolbox for connection between simulation and real world. Using Tagaki-Sugeno method, expert fuzzy system is designed for color detection which is most crucial part of the project. Physical model of color-sorting machine was developed at the laboratory of Department of Measurement and Control. Because of complexity of the system it can be integrated in the lessons of Image Processing and Control systems.
