Baggage Recognition in Baggage Position Control System for Handling the Adjoined Bags in Airport

Medium or large sized airports that can serve increasing number of airlines and passengers from all over the world have been expanding. As a result, the amount of baggage processed at an airport has also been increasing. Therefore, for fast and reliable handling of baggage, the importance of Baggage Handling System has gradually increased. A checked-in bag is top-loaded on a conveyor belt to a high-speed tray for high-speed processing. Before being top-loaded, the bag may be unstably positioned, dropped, or double loaded on a tray in various situations. Baggage Position Control System in an airport controls a position of the bag just before top-loading to solve problems. In this paper, we discussed the methods that distinguish whether baggage be adjacent to another and that decide the arrangement types to be able to process unstable baggage in the control part of Baggage Position Control System.
