Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of detection mechanisms, in particular to a prism appearance detection mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Visual inspection is an automated product inspection process that utilizes computer vision technology and artificial intelligence algorithms. Machine vision products, such as CMOS and CCD cameras, convert captured objects into image signals, which are then transmitted to a dedicated image processing system. This system converts these image signals into digitized signals based on information such as pixel distribution, brightness, and color. It then performs various calculations to extract object features, such as area, quantity, location, and length. Finally, based on preset tolerances and other conditions, the system outputs results, such as size, angle, number, pass / fail, presence / absence, etc., enabling automated identification.
[0003] The visual inspection architecture includes the following components: Lighting is a crucial factor affecting the input of machine vision systems, directly impacting the quality of input data and application effectiveness. Commonly used visible light sources include incandescent, fluorescent, mercury, and sodium lamps. Lighting systems can be categorized by illumination method, including backlighting, frontlighting, structured light, and stroboscopic lighting. Cameras can be categorized as standard-resolution digital cameras or analog cameras. Different resolutions, such as line scan CCDs, area array CCDs, and monochrome and color cameras, are selected based on the specific application. Image detection software is used to process and analyze captured images to extract target features and make judgments.
