Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photographing surface and internal defects of an object, and in particular to a method for photographing surface and internal defects of a transparent and highly reflective object. Background Art

[0002] Defects usually refer to defects, stains, scratches, damage, etc. on the surface or inside of an object that do not meet normal standards or expectations. In photography, defects may appear as goofs in the photo, abrupt objects, visual discomfort caused by light sources and colors, etc. Defect photography is a complex process involving many aspects. It not only requires the photographer to have professional photography skills, but also requires an in-depth understanding and grasp of the defects themselves. Defect photography is a process that requires professional skills and careful observation; with the development of artificial intelligence technology, the technology of using AI algorithms to detect surface defects of objects is becoming more and more mature. AI algorithms are inspired by the laws of nature and simulate problem-solving algorithms based on their principles. They enable computers to learn from previous results and obtain updated information without human intervention.

[0003] After searching, in the prior art, the publication number CN115439389A discloses a method and device for detecting surface defects of an object. The method comprises: inputting an image into a defect detection model to obtain a feature map output by each network layer of the defect detection model, wherein the defect detection model adopts a pruned lightweight network; convolving and fusing the feature maps output by N network layers of the defect detection model through at least partially different convolution kernels to obtain a first feature map, wherein N is an integer less than the number of network layers of the lightweight network; performing atrous convolution pooling on the feature map output by one network layer of the defect detection model to obtain a feature map; superimposing the pooled feature maps in sequence and obtaining a second feature map by upsampling; and fusing the first feature map and the second feature map to obtain the position of the defect in the image; dividing the object according to the position of the defect in the image and the category of the defect; and performing subsequent operations on the object according to the division result.

[0004] However, the device and the prior art still have the following defects:

[0005] How to collect a large amount of clear and representative image data is an important issue in the detection process, and it is even more so for transparent and highly reflective objects. Glass, polyurethane, PC, plastic, resin and other materials have high light transmittance and high reflectivity. The impurities, scratches, breakage and other defects on their surfaces and insides cannot be detected by traditional lighting and shooting methods. For surface and internal defects, light transmittance requires that the light source brightness must be extremely high, while reflectivity will cause the area to be too bright and difficult to shoot clearly, which makes it difficult to collect image data and it is easy to miss some defects during detection, which cannot meet the usage requirements. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for photographing surface and internal defects of a transparent and highly reflective object.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A method for photographing the surface and internal defects of a transparent and highly reflective object includes a detection subject, a computer control module, a high-precision industrial camera, a lens, a stage, a special light source component, and a stepper motor rotating bracket, and includes the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: Use a clamp to clamp the object to be photographed and place it on the stage. Select a suitable lens based on the focal depth and focal length and connect it to the high-precision industrial camera.

[0010] Step 2: Turn on the high-precision industrial camera and the special light source assembly. The special light source assembly emits light from the bottom of the object, and the high-precision industrial camera shoots from the top of the object.

[0011] Step 3: Use the stepper motor to rotate the bracket to drive the special light source assembly to rotate horizontally, thereby changing the position of the special light source assembly. Each rotation of the special light source assembly triggers the high-precision industrial camera to take a photo, completely photographing the entire surface and interior of the object. All the taken pictures are uploaded to the computer control module for storage and processing, so as to achieve the capture of surface and internal defects of the object.

[0012] Furthermore, a computer control module is provided at the front end of the detection body, and the computer control module is connected to the detection body by screws, a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove are provided on the side wall of the detection body, a stage is provided on the inner side of the detection body, and the stage is fixedly connected to the detection body, a first mounting plate is provided above the stage, one end of the first mounting plate extends to the inside of the first mounting groove, and the first mounting plate is slidably connected to the detection body, a high-precision industrial camera is provided at the front end of the first mounting plate, and the high-precision industrial camera is connected to the first mounting plate by screws, a lens is provided below the high-precision industrial camera, and the lens is slidably connected to the high-precision industrial camera. The machine is threadedly connected, a second mounting plate is arranged below the stage, one end of the second mounting plate extends to the inside of the second mounting slot, and the second mounting plate detection body is slidably connected, a stepper motor rotating bracket is arranged at the front end of the second mounting plate, and the stepper motor rotating bracket is connected to the second mounting plate by screws, a special light source assembly is arranged above the stepper motor rotating bracket, and the special light source assembly is fixedly connected to the stepper motor rotating bracket, the high-precision industrial camera, lens, special light source assembly and stepper motor rotating bracket are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, and the high-precision industrial camera, special light source assembly and stepper motor rotating bracket are electrically connected to the computer control module.

[0013] Furthermore, a first electric push rod is disposed inside the first mounting groove, and the first electric push rod is disposed above the first mounting plate, and the first electric push rod is fixedly connected to the detection body and the first mounting plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the first electric push rod drives the first mounting plate to rise and fall along the first mounting groove, and the height of the first mounting plate is changed, so that the distance between the high-precision industrial camera and the stage can be changed.

[0015] Furthermore, a second electric push rod is disposed inside the second mounting groove, and the second electric push rod is disposed below the second mounting plate, and the second electric push rod is fixedly connected to the detection body and the second mounting plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the second electric push rod drives the second electric push rod to rise and fall along the second mounting groove, thereby changing the height of the second mounting plate and changing the distance between the special light source assembly and the stage.

[0017] Furthermore, guide holes are provided on the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, guide rods are provided inside the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove, and both ends of the guide rods are fixedly connected to the detection body, the guide rods are arranged through the guide holes, and the guide rods are slidably connected to the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rod slides when the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are lifted or lowered, and plays a guiding and limiting role for the lifted or lowered first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, ensuring that the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are lifted or lowered smoothly.

[0019] Furthermore, the special light source assembly in step 2 is a planar light source, which is covered with grid-like stripes, and the thickness of the stripes can be controlled in real time by a built-in host computer.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, by controlling the stripe thickness, stripe direction, exposure time, and utilizing the diffraction effect of the grating, it is possible to capture defects as small as 0.1mm and as large as 10cm, and to capture defects in all directions. The diffraction effect principle is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, a is the width of the light-transmitting slit, b is the width of the opaque part, d = a + b, φ is the angle of incidence, λ is the wavelength of light, and k is any positive integer. It can be concluded from the small right triangle in the figure that when d = kλ*sinφ, kλ is the optical path difference between the upper and lower lights, which will form bright fringes, that is, strengthen the light. Therefore, adjusting the thickness of the fringes is to adjust the size of a and b. The width of the shielding band is adjusted by a special light source. When ab changes, for a specific position, the λ corresponding to the bright fringes formed at this position, that is, the wavelength, changes. Therefore, when the value of ab is adjusted continuously, it is equivalent to using light containing more wavelengths at different times at each position for irradiation. For defects, when the wavelength of the irradiating light is proportional to the actual size of the defect, the edge of the defect will be clearer, that is, the defect is captured. Continuously adjusting the thickness of the grating can cover defects of all sizes.

[0021] Furthermore, the high-precision industrial camera in step 2 has the function of realizing millisecond-level shooting control and exposure adjustment.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the selection of the lens determines the focal depth and focal length according to the thickness and distance respectively. The high-precision industrial camera can quickly and accurately complete the shooting of multiple photos through 10ms-level shooting control, thereby obtaining photo information in all the above situations.

[0023] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are:

[0024] 1. It uses high-precision industrial cameras, special light source components and stepper motor rotating brackets. The special light source component emits light from the bottom of the object, and the high-precision industrial camera shoots from the top of the object. The high-precision industrial camera has the function of realizing millisecond-level shooting control and exposure adjustment, and can quickly and accurately complete the shooting of multiple photos. The special light source component is a plane light source, which is covered with grid-like stripes, and the thickness of the stripes can be controlled in real time by the built-in host computer. The stepper motor rotating bracket drives the special light source component to rotate horizontally, changes the position of the special light source component, changes the direction of the diffracted light, and covers defects in all directions. Each rotation of the special light source component triggers the high-precision industrial camera to take a photo, and the entire surface and interior of the object are completely photographed. All the photographed pictures are uploaded to the computer control module for storage and processing, and the surface and internal defects of the object are photographed. By controlling the stripe thickness of the special light source, adjusting the grating interval, rotating the grating direction, and adjusting the depth of focus, the defects of all sizes and directions can be photographed, which prevents the missed shots and missed inspections caused by the local highlights caused by the surface reflection, and realizes the complete shooting of the entire object to be inspected, eliminating omissions.

[0025] 2. The first electric push rod and the second electric push rod are used. The first electric push rod drives the first mounting plate to rise and fall along the first mounting groove. Changing the height of the first mounting plate can change the distance between the high-precision industrial camera and the stage. The second electric push rod drives the second electric push rod to rise and fall along the second mounting groove. Changing the height of the second mounting plate changes the distance between the special light source assembly and the stage, which can meet the needs of shooting surfaces and internal defects of objects of different sizes and thicknesses.
