Design of coal quantity measurement system based on laser scanning

In order to save the production cost and improve the efficiency of thermal power plants, it is necessary to optimize the design of coal quantity measurement system. In this paper, the measurement of coal quantity by laser scanning is proposed. This method has the advantages of accuracy, high efficiency and easy operation. The research contents include: using the laser scanner to obtain the surface data of the coal pile, integrating the three-dimensional coordinate information, selecting the most suitable laser scanner, studying the hardware design and data realization, analyzing the data transmission and studying the error in the volume calculation of the coal pile. The system can save costs and has good use value.
