AbstractThe spindle rotational accuracy is one of the important issues in a machine tool which affects the surface topography and dimensional accuracy of a workpiece. This paper presents a machine-vision-based approach to radial error measurement of a lathe spindle using a CMOS camera and a PC-based image processing system. In the present work, a precisely machined cylindrical master is mounted on the spindle as a datum surface and variations of its position are captured using the camera for evaluating runout of the spindle. TheCircular Hough Transform(CHT) is used to detect variations of the centre position of the master cylinder during spindle rotation at subpixel level from a sequence of images. Radial error values of the spindle are evaluated using the Fourier series analysis of the centre position of the master cylinder calculated with the least squares curve fitting technique. The experiments have been carried out on a lathe at different operating speeds and the spindle radial error estimation results are presented. The proposed method provides a simpler approach to on-machine estimation of the spindle radial error in machine tools.

In manually propagating potato test-tube plantlets (PTTPs), the plantlet is usually grasped and cut at the node point between the cotyledon and stem, which is hardly located and is easily damaged by the gripper. Using an agricultural intelligent robot to replace manual operation will greatly improve the efficiency and quality of the propagation of PTTPs. An automatic machine vision-guided system for the propagation of PTTPs was developed and tested. In this paper, the workflow of the visual system was designed and the image acquisition device was made. Furthermore, the image processing algorithm was then integrated with the image acquisition device in order to construct an automatic PTTP propagation vision system. An image processing system for locating a node point was employed to determine a suitable operation point on the stem. A binocular stereo vision algorithm was applied to compute the 3D coordinates of node points. Finally, the kinematics equation of the three-axis parallel manipulator was established, and the three-dimensional coordinates of the nodes were transformed into the corresponding parameters X, Y, and Z of the three driving sliders of the manipulator. The experimental results indicated that the automatic vision system had a success rate of 98.4%, 0.68 s time consumed per 3 plants, and approximate 1 mm location error in locating the plantlets in an appropriate position for the medial expansion period (22 days).

Most existing machine vision processing system is 8-bit or 16-bit processor control system, complex algorithms and multi-tasking of the vision system have been severely constrained. DaVinci DM355 integrated ARM926 RISC processor core and specialized image processor is a programmable DMSoC development platform with digital multimedia codecs, high integration, low-power consumption. The machine vision system based on DaVinci DM355 development goal is to establish a low-power hardware development board based on the DaVinci DM355, transplant Linux operating system based on the hardware board and develop corresponding driver.This will provide the basis for the realization of complex algorithm and multitasking system for machine vision system.

With the rapid development of network technology, communication technology and multimedia technology, and robot technology is getting mature, network control robot system has gradually become a main direction of current robot research. Network based robot refers to the public through the network and the control operation of the robot Shi Yuancheng. Study on the idea of network robot is the network technology and robot technology integration together, through the network to control the robot. In the network of the robot, machine vision plays a more and more important role. To a strange environment of robot control, observed the function of an image. Machine vision can not only according to the characteristics of image recognition, robot path, but also can provide visual understanding of the observation space to strange environment and to control the robot. It is also belongs to the field of robot visual category for image transmission and processing technology on the essence of robot network control. The vision system of robot is a machine vision system, refers to the use of computer to realize the vision function of the people, is to use computer to achieve the objective of 3D world understanding.[5] The so-called three-dimensional understanding refers to the observed object shape, size, texture and motion feature distance, leaving on the understanding of the concept of robot design.

Edible Bird nest food product is one of the demanding food product in food production industry. Government looking into ways to improve this industry to boost the economy. Many large scale production are being operated around Malaysia. One of the major difficulties faced in processing the bird nest is to remove its impurities or more formerly known as dirt. Current conventional cleaning method which is manual cleaning is not cost effective and time consuming. Furthermore, it also requires large number of workforce to be used for processing small quantities of bird nest. This paper presents an automated system which utilizes machine vision system and an industrial robot to accomplish a better processing system for edible bird nest. This system offers great advantage compared to conventional process by reducing the time consumed for processing and increase the efficiency.

AbstractThe water displacement and flotation are two of the most accurate and rapid methods for grading and assessing freshness of agricultural products based on density determination. However, these techniques are still not suitable for use in agricultural inspections of products such as eggs that absorb water which can be considered intrusive or destructive and can affect the result of measurements. Here we present a novel proposal for a method of non-destructive, non-invasive, low cost, simple and real—time monitoring of the grading and freshness assessment of eggs based on density detection using machine vision and a weighing sensor. This is the first proposal that divides egg freshness into intervals through density measurements. The machine vision system was developed for the measurement of external physical characteristics (length and breadth) of eggs for evaluating their volume. The weighing system was developed for the measurement of the weight of the egg. Egg weight and volume were used to calculate density for grading and egg freshness assessment. The proposed system could measure the weight, volume and density with an accuracy of 99.88%, 98.26% and 99.02%, respectively. The results showed that the weight and freshness of eggs stored at room temperature decreased with storage time. The relationship between density and percentage of freshness was linear for the all sizes of eggs, the coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9982, 0.9999, 0.9996, 0.9996 and 0.9994 for classified egg size classified 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. This study shows that egg freshness can be determined through density without using water to test for water displacement or egg flotation which has future potential as a measuring system important for the poultry industry.
