Method for processing electrical and electronic component scraps and apparatus for processing electronic component scraps

Abstract

Provided is a method for processing electrical and electronic component scraps and an apparatus for processing electrical and electronic component scraps that can more efficiently sort out desired component scraps from electrical and electronic component scraps using an image recognition processing technique and a sorting device. A method for processing electrical and electronic component scraps including a sorting condition determining step Sof determining a sorting condition of electrical and electronic component scraps. This step includes an image recognition processing step Sof recognizing component scraps belonging to a specific component type from a plurality of captured image of the electrical and electronic component scraps including a plurality of component scraps by image recognition processing and acquiring image recognition information including information on a score representing a certainty of recognized component scraps, a detected area, and a number; a classification step Sof creating classification information classifying the number of recognized component scraps by using the image recognition information; and a condition determining step Sof determining a score threshold of the image recognition process and a detected area threshold of the component scraps based on the classification information and a processing capacity information of a sorting device sorting the component scraps.
