DC motor shafts have several defects such as double cut, deep scratch on surface, and defects in diameter and length. The deep scratches are due to collision among the other shafts. So the scratches are long and thin but their orientations are random. If the smallest enclosing box, i.e. oriented bounding box for a detective point group is found, then the size of the corresponding defect can be modeled as its diagonal length. This paper proposes an suface inspection algorithm for the DC motor shaft using the oriented bounding box. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, a test bed is made with a line scan CCD camera (4096 pixels/line) and two rollers mechanism to rotate the shaft. The experimental result on a pre-processed image with contrast streching algorithm, shows that the proposed algorithm sucessfully finds 150 surface defects and its computation time (0.291 msec) is enough fast for the requirement (4 seconds).

This paper presents a real-time PCB (Printed Circuit Board) vision inspection system. This system can detect the OPEN and SHORT of the PCB which of the line width is 150$\mu\textrm{m}$. Our PCB inspection system is based on the referential method. Since the size of the captured PCB image is very large, the image is divided into 512${\times}$512 images to apply the accurate alignment efficiently. To correct the misalignment between the reference image and the inspection image, pattern matching is performed. In order to implement the proposed algorithm in real-time, we use the SIMD instruction and the double buffering structures. Our experiential results show the effectiveness of the developed inspection algorithm.

This study was conducted to develop an automatic egg inspection system for detecting creaked eggs based on acoustic impulse response. This system includes a sound generator, a sound sensor with signal conditioner, and a computer. The sound generator that hit the sharp of the dull edges of an egg was constructed with a ceramic ball pendulum attached to a rotary type solenoid. The signal conditioner included a pre-amplifier and a digital signal processing (DSP) board. The parameters for distinguishing cracked and normal eggs were the area, the geometric centroid and the resonance frequency of power spectrum of the acoustic signal generated. An algorithm for on-line detection of the continuous transferring eggs was developed. The performance tests resulted with 91% success rate to separate cracked and normal eggs at the rate of 1 second per an egg.

The wall-thickness of insulated pipelines can be easily evaluated by measuring the gamma-ray transmission intensity because this intensity is inversely proportional to the thickness of insulated pipeline. The main purpose of this study is to develop the nondestructive and filmless on-line inspection system of corrosion by measuring the wall thickness of insulated pipeline. The inspection system is constructed with radioisotope, 64 channel photo diode array detector, crawler system and data taking and operating software. The traditional off-line radiographic method carried out by exposing film cassettes can be replaced by this cost-effective on-line digital imaging method and the application will be greatly expected especially in the chemical and petrochemical industries.

This paper presents a learning-based visual inspection method that addresses the need for an improved adaptability of a visual inspection system for parts verification in panorama sunroof assembly lines. It is essential to ensure that the many parts required (bolts and nuts, etc.) are properly installed in the PLC sunroof manufacturing process. Instead of human inspectors, a visual inspection system can automatically perform parts verification tasks to assure that parts are properly installed while rejecting any that are improperly assembled. The proposed visual inspection method is able to adapt to changing inspection tasks and environmental conditions through an efficient learning process. The proposed system consists of two major modules: learning mode and test mode. The SVM (Support Vector Machine) learning algorithm is employed to implement part learning and verification. The proposed method is very robust for changing environmental conditions, and various experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Measurement is used for evaluation of product or process exactly. If it couldn't measured correctly, Quality-cost must be raised and it would be hard to improve product quality. So, this study suggests improvement guide line for the multilateral problems of measuring instrument operation based on the investigation of 157 small and medium-sized enterprises in February, 2008. To use inspection gig correctly, man who treat it must be accustomed with the structure, the performance, the method. The inspection gig is selected properly for the measurement goal. If not, results couldn't be correctly or wasted time, efforts, and costs. When selecting a inspection gig, the locating, the clamping, and the efficiency must be considered.

KSNPs(Korea Standard Nuclear Power Plant) have been applied the break exclusion criteria to the high energy lines passing through containment penetration area to ensure that piping failures would not cause the loss of containment isolation function, and to reduce the resulting dynamic effects. Systems with the criteria are the Main Steam system, Feed Water system, Steam Generator Blowdown system, and Chemical & Volume Control system. In accordance with FSAR(Final Safety Analysis Report), a 100% volumetric examination by augmented in-service inspection of all pipe welds appled the break exclusion criteria is required for the break exclusion application piping. However, it is difficult to fully satisfy the requirements of inspection because 12", 8" and 6" weldolet weldments of Main Steam pipe line have complex structural shapes. To resolve the difficulty on the application of conventional UT(Ultrasonic Testing) technique, realistic mock-ups and UT calibration blocks were made. Simulations of conventional UT were performed utilizing CIVA, a commercial NDE(Nondestructive Examination) simulation software. Phased array UT experiments were performed through mock-up including artificial notch type flaws. A phased array UT technique is finally developed to improve the reliability of ultrasonic test at main steam line pipe to 12", 8" and 6" branch connection weld.

The automated visual inspection system (machine vision system) for quality assurance is important factory automation equipment in the manufacturing industries, such as display, semiconductor, etc. There is a lot of demand for the machine vision engineers. However, there are no technical training courses for machine vision technologies in vocational schools, colleges and universities. In this paper, we present the implementation of line scan camera based equipment for technical training of the automated visual inspection system. The training system consists of the X-Y stage which is widely used in machine vision industries and its variable image resolution are set to $10-30{\mu}m$. Additionally, this training system can attach the industrial illumination, either the direct illuminator or coaxial illuminator, for verifying the effect of illuminations. This means that the trainee can have a practical training in various equipment conditions and the training system is similar to the automated visual inspection system in industries.
