Intelligent monitoring method for conveyor belt misalignment based on deep learning by ZUO Mingming, ZHANG Xi, YANG Zihao, SUN Qifei, ZHANG Mengchao, ZHANG Yuan, LI Hu

“…A strategy was proposed to detect the straight lines of the conveyor belt edges using the diagonal features of the bounding box predicted by the object detection network. Specifically, the top-right to bottom-left diagonal of the predicted bounding box was used to represent the left edge of the conveyor belt, and the top-left to bottom-right diagonal was used to represent the right edge. …”
