A Real-Time Automated Visual Inspection System for Hot Steel Slabs

The gap and the malposition of the contact of automotive relay would heavily influence its life. If the gap and the malposition of all relays can be fully inspected and the inspection operation can be incorporated into the existing automated manufacturing and testing equipment, the quality will thus be significantly promoted. To reach this goal, a visual inspection system based on the platform of LabVIEW has been developed in this paper. The visual inspection system is capable of performing the inspection of the gap and the malposition of electrical contact in 1.6 seconds for one relay, and the whole automation system can manufacture one relay for every 2 seconds.

This paper is concerned with the problem of automatic inspection of hot-rolled plate surface using machine vision. An automated visual inspection (AVI) system has been developed to take images of external hot-rolled plate surfaces and the detailed characteristics of the sensor system which include the illumination and digital camera are described. An intelligent surface defect detection paradigm based on morphology is proposed to detect structural defects on plate surfaces. The proposed method has been implemented and tested on a number of hot-rolled plate surfaces. The results suggest that the method can provide an accurate identification to the defects and can be developed into a commercial visual inspection system.
