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 new non-contact 3D robotic inspection system to measure the precise positions of screw and punch holes on a car body frame. The newly developed sensor consists of a CCD camera, two laser line generators and LED light. This lightweight sensor can be mounted on an industrial robot hand. An inspection algorithm and system that work with this sensor is presented. In performance evaluation tests, the measurement accuracy of this inspection system was about 200 ${\mu}m$, which is a sufficient accuracy in the automotive industry.

This paper presents an automatic tele-inspection scheme for the remotely manufacturing process. The remote-manufacturing process is continuously monitored and a crucial process is captured by CCD Camera. The captured image is compressed by neural network and JPEG, and it is sent directly to the assembly plant for incoming inspection. Massive image data require broadband channel to transmit them to remote distance, but sender is able to transmit them to receiver in use common channel by compressing massive image data in the high ratio. After the receiver reconstructs the compressed image to be transmitted, the reconstructed image is also directly used for automatic inspection of the process. The Experimental results show that the proposed inspection mechanism could be effectively implemented for real applications.

컴퓨터 비전 기술은 인공지능의 한 분야로 인간의 눈의 기능을 기계가 수행 할 수 있도록 카메라로부터 영상 이미지를 취득하고, 알고리즘을 통하여 분석하고 판별한 후 생산부품의 양품과 불량을 판별하는 부품 검사에 많이 적용되고 있다. 볼트 생산 시스템에서 생산되는 볼트 탭의 유무를 컴퓨터 비전 기술을 적용하여 자동으로 불량품을 선별하는 장치를 개발하였다. 형상검사 방법으로는 라인 스캔방식으로 검사영역의 시작점과 끝점의 위치를 파악하여 높이를 측정하는 방법을 사용하였으며, 볼트 탭의 유무를 판별하기 위한 방식으로는 원형 스캔방식으로 검사영역의 평균 밝기 값의 차이를 측정하여 유사도를 구하는 방식을 사용하였다. 두 종류의 볼트 탭의 검사 성능실험에서 총 검사에 소요되는 시간은 분당 300개 검사가 가능하며, 완벽한 검사 정확도를 나타내어 생산라인에서 검사의 정확성과 효율성을 입증하였다.

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).

The visual inspection method that depends on human's eyes has some problem that a lot of variations happen in examination according to bodily, spiritual state of the checker. We automate remocon inspection process using CCD camera. Our developed inspection system can be used in any remocon production line without the user's big handling. Our inspection system was developed using PC, CCD Camera, Visual C++ for universal work place. The accuracy of proposed system was improved about 3.2[%] than the conventional pattern matching method and the processing time was decreased about 119[ms]. Also we showed that our inspection system is more robust to lighting circumstances.

We develop an inspection method for bearing faults with a rapid change in the rotation speed and present indexes for the pass/fail inspection. At the end of line, impulse noises generated by the operation of machines and conveyors may distort the inspection results. In this paper, we present robust inspection indexes for bearing faults under impulse noises, by taking into account fault signals having pulse train. Using logistic regression, we optimize the pass/fail criterion for each index and evaluate the performance of the inspection indexes based on the total error rate.

In this paper, we address a design problem and a case study of a K-stage back-light-unit(BLU) inspection system, which is composed of K stages, each of which includes an inspection process and a rework process. Assuming the type I, II errors and the inspection-free policy for items classified as good, we determine the smallest integer of K which can achieve a given target defective rate. If K does not exist, holding the current values of the type I, II errors, we search reversely the defective rate of an assembly line and the defective rate of a rework process, to meet the target defective rate. Our formulae and methodology based on a K-stage inspection system could be applied and extended to similar situations with slight modification.
