Abstract Large forgings can be applied to manufacture key parts in large equipment used in petrochemical, shipbuilding, aerospace, nuclear industry. At present, the size of hot large forgings is mainly measured by hand-hold calipers or mechanical gauges through contact measurement method. In order to realize non-contact length measurement of hot large forgings, a novel method for measuring the length of hot large forgings based on machine vision system is proposed. Firstly, the light strips are recognized according to the continuous characteristics of the light stripes in the image acquired by the hot forging dimension measurement system based on machine vision. Secondly, using the sub-pixel edge of light strips acquired by the improved sub-pixel edge detection algorithm, the three-dimension (3D) points of each edge of light strips are calculated, respectively. Lastly, the two-dimensional (2D) points projected from the 3D points onto the fitted plane are used for curve fitting, and the edge of hot part corresponding to each light strip edge is calculated according to the curvature of the fitted curves. The distance between the start point and the edge point on each light strip edge is considered as the length of hot forging at the corresponding edge of each light strip. The length measurement experiment shows that the method can be used to calculate the length of hot large forgings. The measurement error of the length measurement system when measuring part at room temperature is 0.547%. The time for measuring the length of hot forging is 6.8s.

A Circle-shape is an important figure in most small rule mechanical parts, and usually be measured to get the radius or used as a stand calibration mark. In this paper, a 2-D circle measurement system for small rule mechanical parts based on machine vision is designed and built. The basic components and work principle of the machine vision measurement system are introduced, and the measurement produce is designed and discussed. An available algorithm for circle contour detected and fitted is described. Using this algorithm, the measurement software flow and architecture are built and the software system realized in the Microsoft visual studio program platform. Certainly, the calibration of machine vision system is introduced also. Using the system and method introduced above, an experiment is designed to measure the outer ring radius of one certain model bearing. The measured data is processed and analyzed. Through the experiment and result, it can be found that the measurement system can get relatively high precision and the measurement method is relatively steady, and the system precision and speed can be suit for the demand of on-line and real-time circle measurement.

Forestry industry is an important part of nation's economy. In this paper, a machine vision system is presented as a key module of Camellia oleifera pluck robot. In order to cut fruit image up from complicate background, SOFM neural network and gray thresh is used in image segmentation. In SOFM method, take R-B,G-R,G-B and hue H tunnel as input feature vectors, use self-organization network to clustering can get the best effect. in gray threshold method can take various of method to get the best threshold, such as PSO and GA algorithm, and MATLAB includes the toolboxes. At last use noise ratio, area ratio, divided time, Fourier boundary descriptors and other indicators to assess the accuracy of segmentation. The methods have the significance to the current and subsequent research of forestry pluck device.
