Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new short-circuit detecting method which can detect bad short-circuits, one of bad types occurring in PCB(Printed Circuit Board), by using SURF(Speeded-Up Robust Features) algorithm. The basic procedure in the proposed method sequentially consists of extracting features from both sample and inputted images by SURF, performing perspective transform by feature matching and matching results, extracting check areas of interest, binary coding and extracting short-circuits, and verifying results. The proposed method focuses on the robustness which can detect bad short-circuits even though the position and angle of PCB are not uniform and arbitrarily placed. Experimental results show that our method enables to detect bad short-circuits regardless of the location and angle of PCB placed variously and validate that the proposed method outperforms the conventional methods detecting bad short-circuits manually on the aspect of both the detection rate and time.
