Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Machine vision has wide applications, and the rapid development of manufacturing and the upgrading of industrial automation have brought new opportunities and challenges to machine vision. Users and manufacturers have increasingly higher requirements for product quality, demanding not only good performance but also a good appearance, i.e., good surface quality. However, surface defects are often unavoidable during product manufacturing. Surface defects are areas of uneven physical or chemical properties on the product surface, such as scratches, spots, and holes on metal surfaces, color differences and indentations on paper surfaces, and inclusions, breakage, and stains on non-metallic surfaces such as glass. Surface defects not only affect the aesthetics and comfort of products but also adversely impact their performance.
[0003] A rotating camera device for inspecting product surfaces is provided, enabling automated machine vision inspection. It boasts significant advantages such as safety, reliability, a wide spectral response range, long-term operation in harsh environments, and high production efficiency. The machine vision inspection system acquires surface images of products using appropriate light sources and a vision camera. It then extracts feature information from the images using corresponding image processing algorithms. Based on this feature information, it performs operations such as locating, identifying, and classifying surface defects, as well as statistical analysis, storage, and retrieval.
