[0002] Visual inspection is the use of machines to replace human eyes for measurement and judgment.

[0003] Visual inspection refers to the process of using machine vision products (i.e., image acquisition devices, which are divided into CMOS and CCD) to convert the captured target into an image signal, which is then transmitted to a dedicated image processing system. Based on pixel distribution and information such as brightness and color, the signal is converted into a digital signal.

[0004] The image system performs various operations on these signals to extract the features of the target, and then controls the operation of the equipment on site based on the judgment results.

[0005] It is a valuable mechanism used in production, assembly, or packaging. It has immeasurable value in detecting defects and preventing defective products from being distributed to consumers.

[0006] During visual inspection, a visual sensor is required to visually acquire data from the inspection area. Currently, visual acquisition devices are basically installed in a predetermined area by fixing them with bolts. However, for visual acquisition in industrial environments, due to the complexity of the industrial environment, visual acquisition devices are easily damaged. Therefore, in industrial environments, the fixed installation method of visual acquisition devices affects the replacement of damaged visual acquisition devices and increases the replacement time.
