In this paper, we propose an automaticdetection method of foreign bodies through template matching in industrial CT volume data. Our method is composed of three main steps. First,Indown-sampling data, the product region is separated from background after noise reduction and initial foreign-body candidates are extracted using mean and standard deviation of the product region. Then foreign-body candidates are extracted using K-means clustering. Second, the foreign body with different intensity of product region is detected using template matching. At this time, the template matching is performed by evaluating SSD orjoint entropy according to the size of detected foreign-body candidates. Third, to improve thedetection rate of foreign body in original volume data, final foreign bodiesare detected using percolation method. For the performance evaluation of our method, industrial CT volume data and simulation data are used. Then visual inspection and accuracy assessment are performed and processing time is measured. For accuracy assessment, density-based detection method is used as comparative method and Dice's coefficient is measured.

A leather quality inspection by naked eyes has known as unreliable because of its biological characteristics like accumulated fatigue caused from an optical illusion and biological phenomenon. Therefore it is necessary to automate the leather quality inspection by computer vision technique. In this paper, we present automatic leather qua1ity classification system get information from leather surface. Leather is usually graded by its information such as texture density, types and distribution of defects. The presented algorithm explain how we analyze leather information like texture density and defects from the gray-level images obtained by digital camera. The density data is computed by its ratio of distribution area, width, and height of Fourier spectrum magnitude. And the defect information of leather surface can be obtained by histogram distribution of pixels which is Windowed from preprocessed images. The information for entire leather could be a standard for grading leather quality. The proposed leather inspection system using machine vision can also be applied to another field to substitute human eye inspection.

The present process of grading leather quality by the rare eyes is not reliable. Because inconsistency of grading due to eyes strain for long time can cause incorrect result of grading. Therefore it is necessary to automate the process of grading quality of leather based on objective standard for it. In this paper, leather automatic classification system consists of the process obtaining the information of leather and the process grading the quality of leather from the information. Leather is graded by its information such as texture density, types and distribution of defects. This paper proposes the algorithm which sorts out leather information like texture density and defects from the gray-level images obtained by digital camera. The density information is sorted out by the distribution value of Fourier spectrum which comes out after original image is converted to the image in frequency domain. And the defect information is obtained by the statistics of pixels which is relevant to Window using searching Window after sort out boundary lines from preprocessed images. The information for entire leather is used as standard of grading leather quality, and the proposed algorithm is practically applied to machine vision system.

With the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, the demand for semiconductors is enormously increasing everywhere. To ensure the manufacturing quality and quantity simultaneously, the importance of automatic defect detection during the packaging process has been re-visited by adapting various deep learning-based methodologies into automatic packaging defect inspection. Deep learning (DL) models require a large amount of data for training, but due to the nature of the semiconductor industry where security is important, sharing and labeling of relevant data is challenging, making it difficult for model training. In this study, we propose a new framework for securing sufficient data for DL models with fewer computing resources through a divide-and-conquer approach. The proposed method divides high-resolution images into pre-defined sub-regions and assigns conditional labels to each region, then trains individual sub-regions and boundaries with boundary loss inducing the globally coherent and seamless images. Afterwards, full-size image is reconstructed by combining divided sub-regions. The experimental results show that the images obtained through this research have high efficiency, consistency, quality, and generality.

According as the patterns of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) become denser and complicated, quality and accuracy of PCB influence the performance of final product. It's attempted to obtain trust of 100% about all of parts. Because human inspection in mass-production manufacturing facilities are both time-consuming and very expensive, the automation of visual inspection has been attempted for many years. Thus, automatic visual inspection of PCB is required. In this paper, we used an algorithm which compares the reference PCB patterns and the input PCB patterns are separated an object and a scene by filtering and edge detection. And than compare two image using pattern matching algorithm. We suggest an defect inspection algorithm in PCB pattern, to be satisfied low cost, high speed, high performance and flexibility on the basis of $640{\times}480$ binary pattern.

As the demand of large and high-resolution display panels is increased, the black light units (BLU) of the display devices play an important roles. In this study we'll deal with various defects of BLUs. Patterns of defects can be classified by the scratches, the non-uniform misprinting for the diffused reflection, the surface stains, spots and etc. Due to these distorted patterns the high-resolution and high-precision could be impeded. We'll propose the visual inspection system to detect various defects by pattern-matching.

This paper describes the automatic visual inspect ion system of fabric defects based on pattern recognition techniques. To extract features for detection of fabric defects, four different techniques such as SGLDM. GCM, decorrelation method, and Laws' texture measure were investigated. From results of computer simulation, it has been found that GCM and decorrelation techniques provide good features. By employing a simple statistical pattern recognition technique, theaccuracy of classification of defect and nondefect was more than 90%. Some experimental results arm also presented.

This paper describes an automatic visual inspection system for fabric defects based on pattern recognition techniques. The inspection for fabric defects can be separated into three sequences of operations which are the detection of fabric defects[1], the classification of figures of fabric defects, and the classification of fabric defects. Comparing projections of defect-detected images with the predefined complex, the classification accuracy of figures of fabric defects was found to be 95.3 percent. Employing the Bayes classifier using cluster shade in SGLDM and variance in decorrelation method as features, the classification accuracy of regional figure defects was found to be 82.4 percent. Finally, some experimental results for line and dispersed figures of fabric defects are included.

본 논문에서는 초미세 패턴($24{\mu}m$ 이하의 선폭, $30{\mu}m$ 이하의 피치)을 가진 칩-온-필름(Chip-on-Film, COF)에 발생한 결함을 자동으로 검출할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 개발된 시스템은 COF 패턴으로부터 대표적으로 발생하는 결함들, 즉 개방(open), 단락(hard short), mouse bite(near open) 및 near short(soft short)을 자동으로 신속히 검출할 수 있는 기술이 적용되어 있다. 특히 초미세 패턴의 경우, near open 및 near short과 같은 결함 검출이 불가능한 기존 검출시스템의 문제점을 극복한 기술이 제안되어 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 결함 검출 원리는 미세 선의 결함유무에 따른 저항 변화를 자동으로 검출하고, 그 미세한 변화를 좀 더 자세하게 판별하기 위해 고주파 공진기(resonator)를 적용하고 있다. 제안된 시스템은 미세 패턴을 가진 COF 제작 과정에서 발생한 결함을 신속히 검출할 수 있기 때문에 COF 불량 검사에 소요되는 많은 경비를 줄일 수 있으리라 기대한다.

This paper describes an automatic 3-dimensional (3D) segmentation method for 3D CT (Computed Tomography) images using region growing (RG) and edge detection techniques. Specifically, an augmented RG method in which the contours of regions are extracted by a 3D digital edge detection filter is presented. The feature of this method is the capability of preventing the leakage of regions which is a defect of conventional RG method. Experimental results applied to the extraction of teeth from 3D CT data of jaw bones show that teeth are correctly extracted by the proposed method.
