|

The conventional method of measuring bulk material flow in use in the industry today is the electronic belt scale---as shown in \autoref{fig:beltscale}. These scales use load cells to translate compression and tension into electrical signals. These signals representing weight may then be converted into measurements of volume.

\subsubsection{Further Considerations}
|
||||
The accuracy of the computed cross-sectional area depends primarily on the accuracy of the depth data as well the frame rate of the sensor.
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
|
||||
However, further operations may be implemented in order to increase accuracy, such as:
|
||||
\begin{itemize}
|
||||
\item Computing the cross-sectional area from multiple slices of each frame and averaging these
|
||||
\item Computing the average cross-sectional area between frames, in order to create a smoother---and possibly more accurate---estimation of the volume flow
|
||||
\end{itemize}
|
||||
\end{minipage}
|
||||
|
||||
It is important to note though, that the implementation of further operations may exhaust the processing capabilities of the platform. Therefore, a crucial balance must be struck between performance and accuracy.
