Özet

The quantity of stacks in silos has commercial importance. For this reason many systems have been developed to detect the quantity of the stack in silos. Most of these systems are based on single point measurements. In this study multi static (MS) thru-air radar (TAR) based three dimensional (3D) perception system is designed. The system consist of 4 X-Band horn antennas (one transmitter, three receiver) to make 3D level measurement. A commercial grain silo is used to test the success of the developed system. Thanks to the designed MS-TAR, range information of the powerful scattering points of grain surfaces are recognized and the average height information of the surface is obtained. Then, according to the height of the surface and the density of the grain, the quantity of the stack is obtained with high accuracy.
