Dimentional inspection and feature recognition through machine vision system

Automated computerized machine vision inspection, techniques can be used as a tooling for automated shape inspection in an advanced CIM environment so that real time, reliable, non-contact and non-destructive, and 100% quality measure activities can be achieved fruitfully. This paper develops a generic hardware system, software architecture and a technology-mix for product feature identification and measurement analysis of various machined parts/products. The feature analysis seeks to identify inherent characteristics of feature of an object found within the image frame. These characteristics are used to describe the object or the attributes of the object features, prior to subsequent task for classification of the same. The special features of such an inspection methodology include system which is (i) Micro-computer based; (ii) flexible and reprogrammable; (iii) likely to remain effective at the floor; (iv) ensure the highest possible goes to the customer and (v) very efficient.
