A machine vision system converts the captured target into an image signal through machine vision products, transmits it to a dedicated image processing system to obtain the morphological information of the captured target, and converts it into a digital signal according to pixel distribution, brightness, color, and other information; the image system performs various operations on these signals to extract the features of the target, and then controls the actions of on-site equipment according to the discrimination results. When monitoring a batch of metal fittings, the labor intensity of personnel can be reduced and the accuracy can be improved through machine vision.

[0003] When the existing metal fitting defect monitoring device based on machine vision monitors metal fittings, it is limited by its placement position, and it is difficult to collect images and conduct reasonable monitoring at the bottom. Moreover, there is still room for improvement in the processing of images by machine vision. It is difficult to record and alarm defects in real time, and it can only simply exclude defective parts, and it is difficult to adjust the metal fitting processing technology according to the actual situation.
