Object Counting Using 7 Segment Display: Block Diagram

This document describes an object counting project that uses an IR sensor and 7-segment display. The IR sensor detects objects on a conveyor belt and sends signals to a microcontroller, which increments the count on the 7-segment display. The count can also decrement if objects move in reverse. This system can count passengers on public transportation and monitor numbers. It could also be enhanced with an alarm for exceeding passenger capacity.

Object Counting Using 7 Segment Display

The project is designed to monitor the counting operations in industries.


For example, products moving on a conveyor belt are counted by IR
interruption concept and displayed on a seven segment display.
There are two pair sensors, each kept at certain distance from the other.

One pair of sensor consists of a transmitter and a receiver, kept exactly


opposite to each other. The transmitting part emits modulated IR light
which is received at the receiver end and fed to a microcontroller of 8051
family. When an object passes through the sensors then microcontroller
gets interrupt signal (from IR sensors) and increments the count to
displays it on 7 segments displays. Count down is also achieved if the
object moves in reverse direction. This project can also be used in any
public transport/trains to count the number of passengers for monitoring
purpose.

Further the project can be enhanced by interfacing it with a warning


system so that if total number of occupants in the vehicle exceeds the
passenger carrying capacity then an alarm is generated by the device.
