This paper describes design and implementation of a real-time high-precision vision system for an automation of SMT(surface mounting technology ). Also, a part inspection algorithm which calculates the position and direction of SMD(surface mounted device) accurately and performs the ruling using those information are presented, and a parallel processing technique for implementing those algorithms is also described. For a real-time implementation of iage acquisition and processing, several hardware modules, namely, multi-functional A/D-D/A board, frame memory board are developed. Particularly, a PE (processing element) board which employs the DSP56001 DSP (digital signal processor) is developed for the purpose of concurrent processing of part inspection algorithms. A stand-alone vision system is built by integration of the developed hardware modules and related softwares.
