Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we developed an apparatus which separates three-band fluorescent lamps, fluorescent lamps with conductivity, and plastic covered fluorescent lamps from waste fluorescent lamps. The results are summarized as follows:
1) Three wavelength fluorescent tubes were identified by processing UV light illuminated images. 2) We used a Tesla coil and camera images to determine the conductivity of fluorescent lamps. 3) We developed two methods to determine whether fluorescent lamps were covered with film or not, namely a method using AE sensors and linear discrimination, and a method using image processing and a neural net. 4) Each identification accuracy was 100% and the processing capacity was 2700 lamps/hour. 5) Further, we developed a prototype of apparatus which peels off the plastic films and cuts the glass tubes.
