현재까지 검사를 목적으로 하는 배관 검사용 로봇에 관한 많은 연구가 소개되어 왔다. 그러나 지하매설 배관의 복합한 배관 요소 내에서 주행 할 수 있는 충분한 이동성을 갖추고 있는 로봇을 개발한다는 것은 여전히 어려운 것처럼 보인다. 배관 검사에 사용하기 위한 로봇은 수평관 및 수직관과 같은 기본적인 배관요소 내에서 자유롭게 주행해야 한다. 더불어 축소관이나 곡관에서 주행 할 수 있고 특히 분기관에서 조향 능력은 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 배관 검사 로봇의 개발에 있어 필수적인 요소와 기술이 소개되며 지난 수년간 연구를 통하여 개발한 배관검사 로봇이 소개된다.

Recently, as the infocomindustry is developed, the semiconductor industry as well as the optical industry such as the optical communication and the optical instrument is developed rapidly. The transmission, storage and processing of information has been reaching an limit because amounts of information increase rapidly. The more quickly the optical communication is developed, the more sharply the demand of optical elements increase. The transport and inspection process is time consuming and the error rate is high, because this process are not automated in case of an optical lens. In this paper, the pick-up system that can hold optical elements and be transferred by the ultrasonic transport system is developed. The inspection system that distinguishes between the existence and the nonexistence of a defect is connected easily to pick-up system. The pick-up system separates the optical glass lens by results of the inspection. The automation program is developed by visual c++ programming.

Mini Double Gears Frame is critical part of PDP and also produces couple hundred thousand every month. In the process of mass production, product inspection is very important process. Double Gear, one of the part of machine, was inspected by human eyes which caused mistakes and slow progress. To achieve the speed and accuracy the system was compensated by vision system which is inspecting automatically. The focus value is measured based on the fact that high contrast images have much high frequency edge information. High frequency term of the image is extracted using the high-pass filter and the sum of the high frequency term is used as the focus value. We used a Gaussian smoothing filter to reduce the noise and then measures the focus value using the modified Laplacian filter called a Sum modified Laplacian Focus values for the various lens positions are calculated and the position with the maximum focus value is decided as the focused position. The focus values calculated in various lens position showed the Gaussian distribution. We proposed a method to estimate the best focus position using the Gaussian curve fitting. Focus values of the uniform interval lens positions are calculated and the values are used to estimate the Gaussian distribution parameters to find the best focus position.

Recently, due to the aging of workers and the weakening of the labor base in the automobile industry, research on quality inspection methods through ICT(Information and Communication Technology) convergence is being actively conducted. A lot of research has already been done on the development of an automated system for quality inspection in the manufacturing process using image processing. However, there is a limit to detecting defects occurring in the automotive sunroof sealer application process, which is the subject of this study, only by image processing using a general camera. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a system construction method that collects image information using a infrared thermal imaging camera for the sunroof sealer application process and detects possible product defects based on the SVM(Support Vector Machine) algorithm. The proposed system construction method was actually tested and applied to auto parts makers equipped with the sunroof sealer application process, and as a result, the superiority, reliability, and field applicability of the proposed method were proven.

다품종 소량 생산을 중심으로 하는 제조 기업의 경우 하나의 공정 라인에서 여러 가지의 제품들을 생산하기 때문에 자동화된 검수 보다는 작업자에 의해서 불량품을 선별하고 있다. 따라서 일정한 기준 없이 작업자의 경험이나 숙련도에 의해 선별 기준이 조금씩 차이가 있어 잘못 선별이 이루어질 가능성이 높다. 또한, 크기나 모양 등이 정형화되지 않은 유연물체의 경우 선별 기준에 대한 편차가 더 커질 수 있는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 인공지능 기반의 비지도 학습 방법을 적용한 품질 검사 시스템을 설계하고 실제 제조현장에서 획득한 데이터 셋을 기반으로 정확도를 실험하는 연구를 진행하였다.

The stay cylinder weld at the steam generator of Korean Standard Nuclear Power Plants is safety class I component and is subjected to be inspected by the volumetric examination such as ultrasonic method. As accessibility of this area is limited due to the narrow space and high radiation, the existing manual inspection method involves various difficulties. Moreover operators may be exposed to internal contamination by contaminated dust during the surface buffing process to improve the inspection reliability of this area. Recently the new automatic inspection system for stay cylinder welds has been developed. The inspection system basically consists of a driving assembly, data acquisition device and signal processing units. The driving assembly is classified by 1) the scanner for inspecting and buffing the weld, 2) pillars for guiding the scanner and 3) the base frame for loading and supporting pillars. The scanner has 4 sensor modules to inspect in 4 refracted angles and 4 incident directions. These components can be inserted into the skirt of the stay cylinder through the manway hole and assembled easily by one-touch in the skirt. Data acquisition device and signal processing units developed in previous works are also newly upgraded for better processing of data analysis and evaluation. The system has been successfully demonstrated not only in the mock-up but also in the field. In this paper, newly developed inspection system for the stay cylinder weld of the steam generator is introduced and their field applications are discussed.

본 논문은 다양한 제품의 불량 검사를 위한 비전 검사시스템을 개발하였다. 대부분의 기존 검사 시스템은 하나의 제품에 대하여 검사가 가능하도록 설계되었다. 그래서 동일한 검사시스템에서 다른 제품을 검사하기 위해서는 비용과 시간을 들여 시스템을 업데이트하거나 교체를 해야 했다. 본 논문에서는 추가적인 작업이 없어도 적은 비용으로 다양한 제품을 검사할 수 있는 유연한 검사시스템을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 사용하기 편리한 사용자 인터페이스와 특별한 변경 없어도 다양한 제품에 적용 가능한 영상처리 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 히스토그램의 형태에 따라 제한된 범위 내에서 임계값을 변경하면서 정상제품 이미지와 불량제품 샘플 이미지간의 상관계수를 구하고 구한 상관계수에서 가장 작은 것을 해당 제품의 검사에 사용할 임계값으로 결정한다. 시스템을 검증하기 위해 핸드폰 케이스 불량 검사에 적용하여 Otsu의 방법과 비교하였다.

This paper presents an automated system for inspecting surface finish quality of gear teeth. The purpose of the presented system is to improve both efficiency and reliability of a gear inspection process with a lower cost. The system consists of two modules; one is for data collection and the other for data analysis. While and A/D converter is built in a PC to efficiently obtain digitized data, a window-based software for conducting quality tests is provided using VISUAL BASIC as well as C++. We successfully connect them with the existing gear tester. This system would be also useful for the gear quality improvement by means of a continuous data management.

The geometry of wheel and rail profiles is the primary contributor to wheel and rail interaction. These profiles interact to influence truck steering, vehicle lateral stability, wheel/rail wear and surface damage. Maintaining good control of the profiles is one of the keys to ensuring preferred wheel and rail interaction. Transportation Technology Center, Inc., Pueblo, Colorado, is developing an automated measurement system for wheel/rail contact condition inspections supported by AAR(Association of American Railroads). The system uses a modified version of $WRTOL^{TM}$ (Wheel/Rail Tolerances)--software that performs extensive analysis of wheel and rail contact conditions
