Abstract

A system for monitoring conveyor belts is disclosed. The system also includes a first sensor configured to generate a first field and obtain first measurements based on the generated first field and a conveyor belt. The system also includes a second sensor configured to generate a second field and obtain second measurements based on the generated second field and the conveyor belt. The system also includes circuitry configured to generate hybrid belt information based on the obtained first measurements and the obtained second measurements. The system can utilize the Doppler effect and/or microwave radiation/fields to generate the hybrid belt information.
