Instrument pointer reading automatic identification method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses an instrument pointer reading automatic identification method and system based on vision. The method comprises the steps of firstly collecting a watch image; segmenting and extracting a pointer and each region of the watch by using a neural network; using edge detection to screen out the scale centroid, fitting the inner circle of the dial plate, determining the center of the dial plate, detecting the center line of the pointer, calculating the rotation angle of the center line relative to the reference line by taking the center point of the dial plate as the referencepoint and the centroid of the reference point and the 12-point position as the reference line, converting the calculated angle into watch reading, and storing the current watch reading into a database.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vision-based automatic recognition method and system for instrument pointer readings. Background technique [0002] As a timing tool with a balance spring oscillating system, a mechanical watch’s travel time accuracy is changing every moment. According to the detailed rules for the evaluation of mechanical watches, high-precision mechanical watches must meet the requirements of “High-precision Mechanical Watches SQL / HSTU009 -2017" standard to obtain certification. In order to ensure the travel time accuracy of the watch, each watch needs to be tested for 16 days before leaving the factory, that is, during the 16 consecutive days of travel time, the accuracy of the watch is calculated by reading the travel time difference between the watch and the standard time every day. The different accuracy errors of the travel time at different positions can correct the speed trend of the watch. At present, this step is mainly operated ...

Problems solved by technology

At present, this step is mainly operated manually. This method can only detect 200-300 finished watches per day, which has low efficiency and high labor costs. At the same time, the accuracy of detection is easily affected by the proficiency and working status of the staff.

The existing automatic reading technology is mainly applied to the instrument, and it is difficult to solve the problem of overlapping and mutual occlusion of multiple pointers of the watch. At the same time, due to the different styles and designs of the watch, there are a large number of patterns on the dial, which will greatly affect the recognition of the pointer. The diversity of pointers also greatly increases the difficulty of detecting the central axis of the pointer
