Zusammenfassung:A system for determining volume and flow characteristics for material on a conveyer belt is disclosed. The system includes an emitter, a sensor, and circuitry. The emitter is configured to generate radiation and direct the radiation toward a conveyer belt according to a field of view. The sensor is configured to measure reflected radiation from the conveyor belt and based on the generated radiation at a high framerate of about 20 to 30 Hertz and a high resolution of greater than about 4000 pixels and generate time of flight measurements. The circuitry is configured to generate time of flight measurements, determine three dimensional volume characteristics and flow characteristics for material conveyed by the conveyor belt using light detection and ranging based on the measured reflected radiation.
