Objective
This project developed optical inspection technology capable of automatically controlling the manufacturing quality of aircraft components and other manufactured parts. Researches say that this work has created a generic 'vision development' environment which could benefit many different industrial applications. But further development work is required.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF AUTOMATIC, NON-CONTACT INDUSTRIAL INSPECTION USING A HYBRID OPTICAL/ELECTRONIC VISION SYSTEM. THE INTENTION IS TO EXPLOIT THE PARALLELISM AND SPEED OF OPTICAL PROCESSING TECHNIQUES BY PERFORMING THE BULK OF THE COMPUTATIONALLY INTENSIVE IMAGE PROCESSING IN THIS DOMAIN. THE SYSTEM IS TO CONSIST OF: A DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM; A MULTI-CHANNEL OPTICAL PREPROCESSOR; AN UPDATEABLE OPTICAL CHANNEL; AN ELECTRONIC INTERPRETER; AND A KNOWLEDGE BASE. THE LATTER IS TO FORMULATE INSPECTION STRATEGIES BASED ON A CAD DERIVED MODEL OF THE OBJECT, AND A-PRIORI KNOWLEDGE OF THE OPTICAL IMAGE PROCESSING ALGORITHMS AND THE DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM.
THE INTERPRETER IS TO MONITOR, CONTROL, AND RECONFIGURE THE OPTICAL PROCESSORS ACCORDING TO THE INSPECTION STRATEGY. MODELS GENERATED IN THE INTERPRETER ARE TO BE RAPIDLY TESTED IN THE UPDATEABLE OPTICAL CHANNEL BY CORRELATION AGAINST THE REAL INPUT, AND THEN MODIFIED AND RE-TESTED AS NECESSARY. THIS COMBINATION OF OPTICAL DATA REDUCTION AND INTERACTIVE HYBRID PROCESSING WILL ALLOW INDUSTRIAL INSPECTION TASKS TO BE PERFORMED IN REALISTIC TIMESCALES.
A REAL INDUSTRIAL INSPECTION TASK IS TO BE DEMONSTRATED: THE FLEXIBLE INSPECTION OF COMPLEX LOW BATCH COMPONENTS.
