Abstract
With the development and progress of industrial technology, there will be a large amount of scrap metal produced. Discarding the scrap metal everywhere will cause environmental pollution and a great waste of resources. This paper presents a method for reutilization of scrap metal in order to recover and utilize the metal scrap. Firstly, identifying the reusable areas by using image processing algorithms. Then, processing available areas of the irregularly shaped scrap metal. Finally, producing parts of mechanical equipment or new types of handicrafts that meet human needs. This method not only makes use of metal scrap reasonably, but also protects environmental resources.
