We need many assembly lines to produce industrial product such as automobiles that require a lot of composited parts. Big portion of such assembly line are still operated by manual works of human. Such manual works sometimes cause critical error that may produce artifacts. Also, once the assembly is completed, it is really hard to verify whether of not the product has some error. In this paper, for monitoring behaviors of manual human work in an assembly line automatically, we proposes a realtime hybrid monitoring system that combines 2D vision sensor tracking technique with 3D motion recognition sensors.

For the weld quality improvement and the convenient operation of machines, laser vision system can be used to track weld seams on pressure vessels. There are many bad conditions to the weld grooves such as cutting error, gap variation of weld joint, and offset error of center line caused by misalignment. We developed a laser vision seam tracking system which consists of a laser vision sensor, a two axis positioning mechanism and a user interface program running on the Windows system. It was found that our system worked well for U, V and X shaped grooves. We used an industrial PC as the system controller to secure immunity to electrical noise and dust. We introduce here a simple and...

Recently, the vision system has the wide and growing' application field on account of the vast information from that visual mechanism. Especially, in the control field, the vision system has been applied to the industrial robot. In this paper, the object tracking and grasping task is accomplished by the robot vision system with a camera in the robot hand. The camera setting method is proposed to implement that task in a simple way. In spite of the calibration error, the stable grasping task is achieved using the tracking control algorithm based on the vision feature.

In this paper, we present a new approach to visual feedback control using image-based visual servoing with stereo vision. In order to control the position and orientation of a robot with respect to an object, a new technique is proposed using binocular stereo vision. The stereo vision enables us to calculate an exact image Jacobian not only around a desired location but also at other locations. The suggested technique can guide a robot manipulator to the desired location without providing a priori knowledge such as the relative distance to the desired location or the model of an object even when the initial positioning error is large. This paper describes a model of stereo vision and how to generate feedback commands. The performance of the proposed visual servoing system is illustrated by experimental results and compared with conventional control methods for an assembly robot.

A stereo vision system was developed for robot milking system (RMS) using two monochromatic cameras. An algorithm for inverse perspective transformation was developed for the 3-D information acquisition of all teats. To verify performance of the algorithm in the stereo vision system, indoor tests were carried out using a test-board and model teats. A real cow and a model cow were used to measure distance errors. The maximum distance errors of test-board, model teats and real teats were 0.5 mm, 4.9 mm and 6 mm, respectively. The average distance errors of model teats and real teats were 2.9 mm and 4.43 mm, respectively. Therefore, it was concluded that this algorithm was sufficient for the RMS to be applied.

This paper is about the development of automatic inspection system of welded nuts on Support hinge using machine vision for the improvement of working condition. Until now, projection welding process was performed by operator. Also, inspection of welded nuts is performed manually and recorded by the operator's naked eye. So these processes caused the produce of poorly-made articles. To improve this manual operation, inspection system using machine vision is introduced. Test algorithm, lighting system and program showed good results to the designed inspection system and led to the increment of productivity.

Morden industrial society pursues unmanned system and automation of manufacturing rocess. Abreast with this tendensy, prodution of goods which requires advaned accuracy is increasing as well. According to this, the work sensing time of dressing by monitoring and diagnosis the condition of grinding, which is the representative way in accurate manufacturing, is a important work to prevent serios damages which affect grinding process or products by wearing wheel. Computer vision system is composed, so that grind wheel wurface was acquired by CCD camera and the change of cutting is composed. Then we used autometic threshoding technique from histogram as a way of deviding cutting edge which is used in manufacturing from the other parts. As a result, we are trying to approach unmanned system and sutomation by deciding more accurate time of dressing and by visualizing behavior of grinding wheel by marking use of computer vision.

In the steel & iron processing line, some characters are marked for the material management in the surface of material. This paper describes about the developed results of vision system for the recognition of material management characters, which was included in the slab image. Our vision system for the character recognition includes that CCD camera system which acquire slab image, optical transmission system which transmit captured image to the long distance, input and output system for the interface with existing system and monitoring system for the checking of recognition results. We have installed our vision system at the continuous casting line and tested. Also, we have performed inspection of durability, reliability and recognition rate. Through the testing, we have confirmed that our system have high recognition rate, 97.4%.

In this study, the defect in connection with a C-tray was inspected using a low-cost camera. The four test items were the device overlapping in the tray, the bending of the tray, the loaded quantity of the tray, and the device pocket leaving, an algorithm was developed for defining and detecting the above defect types. Therefore, the developed handling system could extend the application of the stack of the c-tray and provide a quantity verification inspection on the packing processing. The machine operation control program, which can ensure the optimal inspection image to match the scan speed, was developed and the control program that can process the user gui and the vision image utilizing the control was developed. Overall, a mechanical system that is practicable for obtaining an image and processing the vision data was designed.

A QRT(Quad-Rotor Type) hovering robot system is developed for quick detection and observation of the circumstances under calamity environment such as indoor fire spots. The UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is equipped with four propellers driven by each electric motor, an embedded controller using a DSP, INS(Inertial Navigation System) using 3-axis rate gyros, a CCD camera with wireless communication transmitter for observation, and an ultrasonic range sensor for height control. The developed hovering robot shows stable flying performances under the adoption of RIC(Robust Internal-loop Compensator) based disturbance compensation and the vision based localization method. The UAV can also avoid obstacles using eight IR and four ultrasonic range sensors. The VTOL(Vertical Take-Off and Landing) flying object flies into indoor fire spots and sends the images captured by the CCD camera to the operator. This kind of small-sized UAV can be widely used in various calamity observation fields without danger of human beings under harmful environment.
