METHOD FOR THE MACHINE-BASED DETERMINATION OF THE FUNCTIONAL STATE OF SUPPORT ROLLERS OF A BELT CONVEYOR SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND MACHINE-READABLE DATA CARRIER
The present invention relates to a method for the machine-based determination of the functional state of support rollers (13) of a belt conveyor system (1) during operation of the belt conveyor system, wherein at least one unmanned vehicle (2) with at least one imaging sensor system is provided, by means of which at least sections of the belt conveyor system can be sensed in the form of image data, wherein image data of at least one subregion of the belt conveyor system is captured as thermal image data. In the captured image data of the belt conveyor system, at least one identification image region position is determined automatically, in which at least one subregion of a support roller (13) is imaged. For each identification image region position determined from the image data, an analysis image region position is automatically defined in the thermal image data. In each defined analysis image region position, thermal image data is automatically analyzed and the functional state of support rollers (13) is determined. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for the identification of functionally impaired support rollers (13), a computer program configured to carry out these methods, a machine-readable data carrier containing such a computer program, and a device with a data processing device (3) for the evaluation of the captured image data.
