چکیده

In this paper, we present an effective defect inspection system that identifies film defects and determines their types in order to produce polarized films for TFT-LCD (thin film transistor – liquid crystal display). The proposed system is designed and implemented to find defects from polarized film images using image segmentation techniques and to determine defect types through the image analysis of detected defects using template matching techniques. We extract features of the defects such as shape and texture, and compare them to the features of referential defect images stored in a template database. Experimental results using the proposed system show that it identifies defects of test images effectively (Recall = 1.00, Precision = 0.95) and efficiently (Average response time = 0.64 s), and also achieves a high correctness in determining the types (Recall = 0.95, Precision = 0.96) for five classes of defects. In addition the experiment shows that our system is fairly robust with respect to the rotational transformation, achieving the desirable property of the rotation invariance. 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

Developing a New Automatic Vision Defect Inspection System for Curved Surfaces with Highly Specular Reflection

This paper aims to create an automatic vision defect inspection system that is capable of detecting defects on highly specular reflection curved surfaces, especially for chrome-plated surfaces. These are strongly specular surfaces with very weak diffuse reflection. It is impossible to detect all the defects in one image in which defects may be covered by highlight regions or do not appear becau...

Robust Potato Color Image Segmentation using Adaptive Fuzzy Inference System

Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

Evaluation of Similarity Measures for Template Matching

Image matching is a critical process in various photogrammetry, computer vision and remote sensing applications such as image registration, 3D model reconstruction, change detection, image fusion, pattern recognition, autonomous navigation, and digital elevation model (DEM) generation and orientation. The primary goal of the image matching process is to establish the correspondence between two ...

An Efficient Algorithm for Face Detection Using Color Segmentation & Energy Thresholding

In this paper we presented a simple and effective method to detect faces in such a situation that the images to be tested are very similar to the images in a training set, by using color-based segmentation. Color segmentation is an effective process to separate skin from its background. The color segmentation process will be followed by energy thresholding. Face detection has been a fascinating...
