Abstract

The proposed work presents a technique for an automated count of cigarette in cigarette packets. Proposed work is based on application of image processing techniques in LabVIEW platform. An objective of the proposed work is to count the number of cigarettes in a packet. National Instrument´s Smart camera is used to capture images of cigarette packets moving in packaging line and process the data to fulfill the above objective. The technique was subjected to offline testing on more than 50 number of cigarette packets and the results obtained are found to be satisfactory in all cases.
