Image processing software is loaded into the computer to analyze and process the images.

[0040] In use, the operator moves to the observation platform 1 via the ladder 13, then adjusts the height to a suitable position by moving the sliding rod 213 up and down, and then tightens the fixing bolts 215 to fix it. The support column 212 is then rotated horizontally on the fixed base 211. Finally, the telescope 22 is tilted at the top of the sliding rod 213 to ensure that the telescope 22 is directly facing the observation area.

[0041] Then, adjust the multiple LED spotlights 233 so that they can provide supplementary lighting to the observation area from different angles, ensuring that the brightness of the observation area meets the observation requirements.

[0042] At this time, the industrial camera 25 is activated, and the billet is observed through the telescope 22. The observation image is displayed on the display screen 252.
