Vision-based capsule sorting system
Software Library: Image Acquisition and Processing Toolbox
Software Platform: Windows, Matlab
Hardware: IDS uEye camera
A pneumatic based capsule sorting system is developed to sort the capsules based on the features extracted. After acquiring the image of a capsule on a moving conveyer using a CMOS camera, the color and texture information are extracted and analyzed. Based on the result, the corresponding pneumatic valve is activated to blow the capsules to the respective bin for sorting.

Closed-loop temperature control system
Software Platform: Keysight VEE, Windows
Hardware: Agilent AWG 33220A, MSO-X 2002A, DM 34401A
To maintain the set-point temperature on an electronic component.
The linear output voltage of the sensor is measured using a digital multi-meter (Agilent 34401A), and the same has fed back to the computer. The speed of the fan is controlled by applying PWM signal generated by 33220A Function / Arbitrary Waveform Generator.
