Abstract
The use of image processing for physical characteristics identifier for auto spare parts
selling industry systems was the aim of this research. Furthermore, this research is to
develop an identifier of physical properties, which are altered in used spare parts and
identify the correct spare part that should be used to replace. In Sri Lankan scenario,
a replacement of a spare part is done by hand measurements and selection through
manuals. An automated system could reduce time consumed in this process. The
images were taken from the USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam and the images were
processed using MATLAB R2016a software. Arduino Mega 2560 development board
was used to control the hardware. Moreover, the system is programmed to check the
availability of the spare parts through the already established data base. MySQL
database managing software is used to develop the database manipulation. Presently,
the system can identify oil seals. Further a robotic arm and Auto Guided Vehicle to
deliver the suitable part to the consumer via the fully automated process is expected
to develop.
