Abstract -This paper draws a proposal of a set of parameters and methods for accuracy evaluation of visual inspection systems. The case of a monochrome board is treated ,but practically all conclusions and methods may be extended for colour acquisition. Basically, the proposed parameters are grouped in five sets as follows:Internal noise;Video ADC cuantisation parameters;Analogue processing sec...

At the end of last year the first full size ECAL endcap crystals were delivered to CERN.Thirty in number, they were produced to the final geometrical specifications; 220mm long with a rear square face of 30mm and a front square face of 28.6mm. All were delivered polished. The visual inspection , dimension, transmission, light yield and light yield uniformity tests carried out since are discusse...

The direct visual inspection of WCE video by an expert is a tiring and cost activity and it is a true bottleneck to the widespread application of this diagnostic technique. In this paper we apply the texton approach to characterize with a numeric indicator the sub-sequences of a WCE that show sharp change and that are likely to represent relevant medical details. Experiments show that the propo...

To be acceptable in industry vision systems must be inexpensive within the speed of the production line ow and very accurate While visual inspection is high in potential at present the design and implementation of automatic visual inspection systems is labor intensive In addition most of the visual inspection systems are developed in isolation with no systematic approach Increasing exibility to...

An automated visual printed circuit board (PCB) inspection system proposed in this paper is designed specifically to detect various types of defects occurred during circuit printing process in manufactory. Two-dimensional HAAR wavelet transform is incorporated in the PCB inspection algorithm of the inspection system. During the inspection, two type of images are required; reference and tested P...

During textile manufacturing processing, it is vital to inspect, detect, assess and rectify defects as soon as they emerge. This is particularly important for fabric engineering and finishing, as the fabric quality directly affects the quality of their final products. In textile industry history, visual inspection and classification were common practice. The nature of traditional manual inspect...

Inconsistency in manual inspection is real because humans get tired after some time. Recent trends show that automatic inspection is more appealing for mass production inspections. In such as a case, a robot manipulator seems the best candidate to run a dynamic visual inspection. The purpose of this work is to estimate the optimum workspace where a robot manipulator would perform a visual inspe...

In the first half of the article, inspection organization and programs are briefly dealt with. This is followed by a more detailed review of inspection, detection and monitoring methods, which comprises visual inspection, radiography, ultrasonic testing, eddy current technique, magnetic particle inspection, the use of liquid penetrant, the electric field signature method, acoustic emission, lea...

Automated visual inspection is defined as a quality control task that determines automatically if a product, or test object, deviates from a given set of specifications using visual data. In the last 25 years, many research directions in this field have been exploited, some very different principles have been adopted and a wide variety of algorithms have been appeared in the literature. However...

In this paper, we systematically review recent advances in surface inspection using computer vision and image processing techniques, particularly those based on texture analysis methods. The aim is to review the state-of-the-art techniques for the purposes of visual inspection and decision making schemes that are able to discriminate the features extracted from normal and defective regions. Thi...
