Abstract

In the interior decoration panel industry, automated production lines have become the standard configuration for large-scale enterprises. However, during the panel processing procedures such as sanding and painting, the loss of traditional identification markers like QR codes or barcodes is inevitable. This creates a critical technical bottleneck in the assembly stage of customized or multi-model parallel production lines, where identifying individual panels significantly limits production efficiency. To address this issue, this paper proposes a high-precision measurement method based on close-range photogrammetry for capturing panel dimensions and hole position features, enabling accurate extraction of identification markers. Building on this foundation, an identity discrimination method that integrates weighted dimension and hole position IDs has been developed, making it feasible to efficiently and automatically identify panels without physical identification markers. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits significant advantages in both recognition accuracy and production adaptability, providing an effective solution for intelligent manufacturing in the home decoration panel industry.
