ABSTRACT

The aim of this article is to compare two neural classifiers applied to micro component recognition. These micro components can be used for the automation of production and assembly processes of solar concentrators. The image databases have been developed and include mixed and heaped-up micro work pieces. Two neural classifiers, the limited receptive area classifier (LIRA) and the permutation coding neural classifier (PCNC), were tested using these databases. Both methods have demonstrated good results. The LIRA neural classifier achieves a recognition rate of 90%, while the PCNC achieves 91%. Parameters of reliability, adjustability and other characteristics of the classifiers are compared. In the future, these algorithms can be used for the intelligent automation of renewable energy technology production. For example, we intend to use the algorithms for the assembly task of solar concentrators developed in our laboratory.
