The PCB Surface Defect Detection System Based on GPU Acceleration
Defective products are unavoidable in printed circuit board production process, so rapid detection and identificationmethods are badly in need of. PCB surface defect detection including a series of processing such as surface imagecapture, mixed noise filtering,images registering and so on, so it takes a lot of CPU time. To improve detection speed, based on GPU parallel computing platform, we designed a reasonable parallel processing system for PCB defect detectionto meet the need of real-time requirements of a production line. Experimental results show that parallel image processing algorithms based on GPU can achieve good results compared to the CPU-based serial algorithm (with speed up ratio up to8.34 in this paper),providing a new approachfor rapid detection of PCB surface defect.
