본 논문에서는 다각형 용기의 결함 검사 시스템 개발을 제안한다. 임베디드 보드는 메인부, 통신부, 입·출력부 등으로 구성된다. 메인부는 주 연산장치로써 임베디드 보드를 구동하는 운영체제가 포팅되어서 외부 통신, 센서 및 제어를 위한 입출력을 제어할 수 있다. 입·출력부는 필드에 설치되어 있는 센서들의 전기적신호를 디지털로 변환하여 메인모듈로 전달하는 역할 및 외부 스텝 모터 제어의 역활을 한다. 통신부는 영상 촬영 카메라 트리거 설정 및 제어 장치의 구동 설정의 역할을 수행한다. 입·출력부는 제어 스위치 및 센서들의 전기적신호를 디지털로 변환하여 메인모듈로 전달하는 역할을 수행한다. 동작 모드 등과 관련한 펄스 입력 등을 받기 위한 입력회로에는 외부 노이즈의 간섭을 최소화하기 위하여 각 입력포트에는 포토커플러를 설계한다. 제안된 다각형 용기의 결함 검사 시스템 개발의 정확성을 객관적으로 평가하기 위하여 다른 머신비전 검사 시스템과 비교를 해야 하지만, 현재 다각형 용기의 머신비전 검사 시스템이 존재하지 않기 때문에 불가능하다. 따라서, 동작 타이밍을 오실로스코프로 측정하여서 Test Time, One Angle Pulse Value, One Pulse Time, Camera Trigger Pulse, BLU 밝기 제어 등과 같은 파형이 정확히 출력됨을 확인하였다.

Quality control is essential to the final product in BGA-type PCB fabrication. So, many automatic vision systems have been developed to achieve speedy, low cost and high quality inspection. A multiple threshold selection algorithm is a very important technique for machine vision based inspection. In this paper, an inspected image is modeled by using fuzzy sets and then the parameters of specified membership functions are estimated to be in maximum fuzzy entropy with the probability of the fuzzy sets, using the exhausted search method. Fuzzy c-partitions with the estimated parameters are automatically generated, and then multiple thresholds are selected as the crossover points of the fuzzy sets that form the estimated fuzzy partitions. Several experiments related to flip chip BGA images show that the proposed algorithm outperforms previous ones using both entropy and variance, and also can be successfully applied to AVI systems.

This paper proposes computer visual inspection algorithms for PCB defects which are found in a manufacturing process. The proposed method can detect open circuit and short circuit on bare PCB without using any reference images. It performs adaptive threshold processing for the ROI (Region of Interest) of a target image, median filtering to remove noises, and then analyzes connected components of the binary image. In this paper, the connected components of circuit pattern are defined as 6 types. The proposed method classifies the connected components of the target image into 6 types, and determines an unclassified component as a defect of the circuit. The analysis of the original target image detects open circuits, while the analysis of the complement image finds short circuits. The machine vision inspection system is implemented using C language in an embedded Linux system for a high-speed real-time image processing. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithms are quite successful.

Many computer vision algorithms are computationally expensive and require a lot of computing resources. Recently, owing to machine learning technology and high-performance embedded systems, vision processing applications, such as object detection, face recognition, and visual inspection, are widely used. However, on-devices need to use their resources to handle powerful vision works with low power consumption in heterogeneous environments. Consequently, global manufacturers are trying to lock many developers into their ecosystem, providing integrated low-power chips and dedicated vision libraries. Khronos Group-an international standard organization-has released the OpenVX standard for high-performance/low-power vision processing in heterogeneous on-device systems. This paper describes vision libraries for the embedded systems and presents the OpenVX standard along with related trends for on-device vision system.

Welding fabrication invariantly involves three district sequential steps: preparation, actual process execution and post-weld inspection. One of the major problems in automating these steps and developing autonomous welding systems, is the lack of proper sensing strategies. Conventionally, machine vision is used in robotic arc welding only for the correction of pre-taught welding paths in single pass. In this paper, novel presented, developed vision processing techniques are detailed, and their application in welding fabrication is covered. The software for joint tracking system is finally proposed.

This paper proposes a bridge inspection system using a robot to manage the safety status of bridges. A conventional bridge inspection has a lot of problems because inspection is conducted manually by human. As an alternative, we are to develop a robot system having machine vision and this robot system is mounted on an end linkage of specially designed car having seven DOF (Degrees Of Freedom) to inspect cracks beneath bridge. This system is able to check a status of the bridge and record its changes every other year. As a result, the developed robot system offers us the inspection result of quality and reliability about the bridge inspection status. Also, we have tested the effectiveness of the suggested system through outdoor experiments.

Implementing flexible production systems in domestic and foreign automotive design parts assembly has increased demand for automation and power reduction. Consequently, transition to a hybrid production method is observed where multiple vehicles are assembled in a single assembly line. Multiple robots, 3D vision sensors, mounting positions, and correction software have complex configurations in the automotive glass mounting system. Hence, automation is required owing to significant difficulty in the assembly process of automobile parts. This study presents a primer lighting and inspection algorithm that is robust to the assembly environment of real automotive design parts using high power 'ㄷ'-shaped LED inclined lighting. Furthermore, a 2D camera was developed in the primer coating inspection system-the core technology of the glass mounting system. A primer application demo line applicable to the actual automobile production line was established using the proposed high power lighting and algorithm. Furthermore, application inspection performance was verified using this demo system. Experimental results verified that the performance of the proposed system exceeded the level required to satisfy the automobile requirements.

Most of the seeds of cucurbitaceous rootstock species used for grafting were mainly sown by hand. This study was carried out to develop an on-line discriminating algorithm of seed direction using machine vision and an automatic seeding system. The seeding system was composed of a supplying device, feeding device, machine vision system, reversing device, seeding device and system control section. Machine vision was composed of a color CCD camera, frame grabber, image inspection chamber, lighting and personal computer. The seed image was segmented into a region of seed part and background part using thresholding technique in which H value of HSI color coordinate system. A seed direction was discriminated by comparing position between the center of circumscribed rectangle to a seed and the center of seed image. It took about 49ms to identify and redirect seed. Line-up status of seed was good the more than 95% of a sowed seed. Seeding capacity of this system was shown to be 10,140 grains per hour, which is three times faster than that of a typical worker.
