Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) methods are widely employed for the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of gas pipelines. In the application of MFL pipeline inspection technology, corrosion anomalies are detected and identified via their leakage filed due to changes in wall thickness. The gas industry is keenly interested in automating the interpretation process, because a large amount of data to be analyzed is generated for in-line inspection. This paper presents a novel approach to the tasks of data segmentation, feature extraction and depth estimation from gas pipelines. Also, we will show that the proposed method successfully identifying artificial defects.

A new live-line insulator tester was developed to detect faulty insulators in 154kV power transmission lines. This paper is the first part of the two-part paper and deals with its tester development. The developed tester has the following characteristics. First, it automates parts of the insulator inspection process by using a sensor and an actuator, and secondly, it sustains its weight by itself, not by a lineman. Finally, it measures the insulation resistance of an insulator together with its distribution voltage to provide more information for its analysis and diagnosis. These leads to the improvement of its operation efficiency, measurement reliability and usability. Its effectiveness was validated by live-line field tests in actual power lines.

The fault location is obtained from the distance relay that detects the fault of the transmission line. In this time, transmission line crews track down the fault location and the reasons. However, because of having error at the fault location of the distance relay, there is a discordance between real and obtained fault location. As this reason, the inspection time for finding fault location can be longer. In this paper, we proposed the statistical (regression) analysis method based on each type of relay's the historical fault location data and the real fault distance data to improve the problems. With finding the regression equation based on the regression analysis, and putting the relay fault location into that equation, the real fault distance is calculated. As a result of the Prediction fault location, the inspection time of transmission line can be reduced.

인쇄회로기판을 조립하는 SMT (surface mount technology) 라인의 AOI (automatic optical inspection) 형 검사기를 대상으로, 검사시간 단축을 위한 경로계획 방법을 제안한다. 기판에 존재하는 검사 윈도우들은 카메라의 FOV (field-of-view) 크기를 고려하여 클러스터링 되어야 하며, 전체 검사시간의 단축을 위하여 클러스터의 수를 최소화하는 것이 바람직하다. 주어진 기판에 대한 클러스터의 수를 최소화하기 위한 유전자 알고리즘을 새로이 제안하며, 이를 사용한 효과적 경로계획 방법을 제시한다. 상용 검사기를 대강으로 시뮬레이션을 수행하며, 비교 평가를 통하여 제안된 방법의 유용성을 검증한다.

Power transmission lines have been playing a key role as the mainstay of national industry. When a power failure occurs, it can have severe effects on national security as well as national industry and economy. In this paper, we consider an insulator failure, which is one of the main causes of such a power failure. In spite of its importance, however, a shortage of manpower in the insulator maintenance field is getting more serious due to working environments with a high voltage and a high place. For this reason, a new active maintenance technique using a robot system is required to prevent such an insulator failure. In this paper, a new robot mechanism for insulator cleaning and inspection was developed. We confirmed its effectiveness through experiments.

This paper deals with a geometric error simulator, measurement and inspection of workpiece errors on the machine tools, and identification and compensation methodology of thermal errors in machining centers. In order to raise the machining accuracy of workpieces a measurement and inspection system on the machine tool is developed. By using MPPGT module Manual and CNC type CMMs are realized on the machining centers. To compensate for geometric and thermal deformation errors of machining centers, a real time and an off line geometric adaptive control system were developed on the machining centers. A vertical and a horizontal machining center equipped with FANUC 0MC were used for experiments. Performance of the systems were confirmed with a large amount of experiment.

차내 연산 열차제어시스템은 검수고에 지상신호장치가 설치되지 않은 경우 본선 및 시험선으로 출고하였을 때에만 점검이 가능하여 업무의 효율성 저하 및 안전운행에 위해요인으로 작용한다. 열차의 운행 전 또는 운행 후 안전운행 확보를 위한 측면에서 차상 지상신호 설비 간 인터페이스 동작시험이 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 지상에서 차상시스템으로 전송되는 가상의 열차 운행정보에 따른 열차 차상신호 장치의 동작상태 확인과 차상에서 지상시스템으로 전송되는 열차 상태정보에 대한 실시간 자동 분석을 기반으로 한 열차 차상신호 인터페이스 검사시스템을 제안하여 대전도시철도 판암기지에 구축, 차상 지상신호 간 인터페이스시험 알고리즘을 검증하였다. 이에 따라 차상 열차제어시스템 점검을 위해 약 30분간의 시험선 운행이 불필요하여 업무의 효율성을 크게 향상시켰다.

Also the feeding method for inspection product is the slant method, and feed rate is controlled by the ramp angle adjustment. This inspection system is composed of a feeding device, a transfer device, vision systems, a lighting device and computer, and is composed the sorting discharge system of the inferior product. The performance test carried out the feeding speed, the shape correct degree and the sorting discharge speed according to the type of screw/bolt. This sorting inspection system showed a satisfied test results in whole inspection items. Presently, this sorting inspection system is being used in the manufacturing process of screw/bolt usefully.

본 연구는, LED 칩 패키지에 있는 토출된 형광체 수지의 모양을 인라인 측정을 통해 개발된 검사 시스템을 기초로 한 효율적인 머신 비전에 관한 연구이다. 형광체의 반투명 특성 때문에 조사된 빛이 칩의 표면뿐만 아니라 하단 부에서도 반사된다. 이러한 현상이 LED 칩 검사의 신뢰성을 저하시키기 때문에 적절한 조명 광학계를 결정하기 위해 백색광 LED 와 635nm의 레이저 슬릿 빛을 이용하여 검사하였다. 또한, 광 삼각측정법을 이용해 정반사와 분산반사법으로 검사를 수행하였다. 실험 결과 백색 슬릿 광과 정반사 반사법의 조합이 가장 좋은 검사 결과를 낸다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Catmull-Rom 스플라인 보간법을 이용하여 측정된 데이터를 부드러운 표면 형상으로 나타내었다. 측정 결과를 통해 개발된 시스템이 LED 칩 패키징 공정에 인라인 검사에 성공적으로 적용될 수 있다는 결론을 내릴 수 있다.

In recent years, research at the Environmental Microbial and Food Safety Laboratory (EMFSL), Agricultural Research Service (ARS) has focused on the development of novel image-based sensing technologies to address agro-food safety concerns, and transformation of these novel technologies into practical instrumentation for industrial implementations. The line-scan-based hyperspectral imaging techniques have often served as a research tool to develop rapid multispectral methods based on only a few spectral bands for rapid online applications. We developed a newer line-scan hyperspectral imaging platform for high-speed inspection on high-throughput processing lines, capable of simultaneous multiple inspection algorithms for different agro-food safety problems such as poultry carcass inspection for wholesomeness and apple inspection for fecal contamination and defect detection. In addition, portable imaging devices were developed for in situ identification of contamination sites and for use by agrofood producer and processor operations for cleaning and sanitation inspection of food processing surfaces. The aim of this presentation is to illustrate recent advances in the above agro.food safety sensing technologies.
