We have developed m innovative surface inspection system for automated quality control for steel products in POSCO. We had ever installed the various kinds of surface inspection systems, such as a linear CCD and a laser typed surface inspection systems at cold rolled strips production lines. But, these systems cannot fulfill the sufficient detection and classification rate, and real time processing performance. In order to increase detection and classification rate, we have used the Dark, Bright and Transition Field illumination and area type CCD camera, and fur the real time image processing, parallel computing has been used. In this paper, we introduced the automatic surface inspection system and real time image processing technique using the Object Detection, Defect Detection, Classification algorithms and its performance obtained at the production line.

In this paper, the hybrid illumination system for effectively detecting surface defects in steel plate with lowcontrast, non-uniformity and featureless is designed based on illuminance uniformity. First of all, characteristics of steel plate defects were considered and typical inspection illumination system is implemented. Optimum illumination parameters for uniformly illuminating an inspection area in the typical illumination system are selected based on the illuminance uniformity and illuminance distribution measurement. The illuminance uniformity and illuminance distribution are measured using an illuminometer based on the arduino. Through illuminance distribution analysis of the typical illumination, an hybrid illumination is designed by fusing bi-directional illumination and coaxial illumination. The hybrid illumination showed higher uniformity ratio and illuminance distribution than the typical illuminations. The hybrid illumination system showed the ability to uniformly illuminate the entire inspection region of steel plate surface.

쇼크 업쇼바의 로드는 피스톤부 중심에 위치하여 왕복운동을 담당하는 부분으로 표면의 불량(찍힘)이 있을 경우 감쇠력에 대한 차이로 제품 성능을 제대로 발휘하는데 문제 발생의 요인이 되고 있다. 로드표면은 열처리 상태로 표면 광택으로 인하여 쉽게 불량이 표시되지 않으며, 작업자가 육안으로 로드의 이물질 및 찍힘, 기포 검사를 진행함으로써 눈의 피로도가 높아지고, 작업자 육안에 의존하기 때문에 제품의 검사 품질이 일정하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 제품의 원통 형상을 고려하여 라인스캔카메라를 이용한 머신비전 영상처리 기법으로 0.3mm이상의 표면의 불량을 검출하고, 검사단계에서 발생할 수 있는 표면 불량을 최소화하기 위한 전 공정 자동이송 및 양불 제품의 혼입을 방지하는 자동검사 시스템 개발에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 표면검사 시스템 개발로 작업자의 육안 검사에 의존하고 있던 쇼크업쇼버 로드의 표면에 대한 정밀 검사시스템 구축으로 품질검사 기준을 확보하고 표준화된 검사로 신뢰도가 향상되었다.

This study aims to develop a vision inspection system for screw threads. To inspect external defects in screw threads, the vision inspection system was developed using front light illumination from which bright images can be obtained. The front light system, however, requires multiple side images for inspection of the entire thread surface, which can be performed by omnidirectional optics. In this study, an omnidirectional optical system was designed to obtain annular images of screw threads using an image sensor and two reflection mirrors; one large concave mirror and one small convex mirror. Optical simulations using backward and forward ray tracing were performed to determine the dimensional parameters of the proposed optical system, so that an annular image of the screw threads could be obtained with high quality and resolution. Microscale surface defects on the screw threads could be successfully detected using the developed annular inspection system.

In this study, an inspection method using a color image is proposed to conduct a real-time inspection of covalent organic framework (COF) films to detect defects, if any. The COF film consists of an upper pattern SR and a lower PI. The proposed system detects the defects of more than 20 ㎛ on the SR surface owing to the characteristics of the pattern, whereas on the PI surface, it detects defects of more than 4 ㎛ by utilizing a micro-optical system. In the existing system, it is difficult for the operator to conduct a full inspection through a high-performance microscope. The proposed inspection algorithm performs the inspection by separating each color component using the color contrast of the pattern on the SR side, and on the PI surface it inspects the bonding state of the mounted chip. As a result, it is possible to confirm the exact location of the defects through the SR and PI surface inspections in the implemented inspection.

The seniconductor, which is precision product, requires many inspection processes. The surface conditions of the semiconductor chip effect on the functions of the semiconductors. The defects of the chip surface is crack or void. Because general inspection method requires many inspection processes, the inspection system which searches immediately and preciselythe defects of the semiconductor chip surface. We propose the inspection method by using the computer vision system. This study presents an image processing algorithm for inspecting the surface defects(crack, void)of the semiconductor test samples. The proposed image processing algorithm aims to reduce inspection time, and to analyze those experienced operator. This paper regards the chip surface as random texture, and deals with the image modeling of randon texture image for searching the surface defects. For texture modeling, we consider the relation of a pixel and neighborhood pixels as noncasul model and extract the statistical characteristics from the radom texture field by using the 2D AR model(Aut oregressive). This paper regards on image as the output of linear system, and considers the fidelity or intelligibility criteria for measuring the quality of an image or the performance of the processing techinque. This study utilizes the variance of prediction error which is computed by substituting the gary level of pixel of another texture field into the two dimensional AR(autoregressive model)model fitted to the texture field, estimate the parameter us-ing the PAA(parameter adaptation algorithm) and design the defect detection filter. Later, we next try to study the defect detection search algorithm.

The object recognition and localization process for the unknown surface can be easily carried out by introducing a new concept called "Z-Layer". The experimental results indicate that the developed flexible inspection system, with the proposed algorithm, can be inplemented in real situation.situation.

Precision screws have a wide range of industrial applications such as electrical and automotive products. To produce screw threads with high precision, not only high precision manufacturing technology but also reliable measurement technology is required. Machine vision systems have been used in the automatic inspection of screw threads based on backlight illumination, which cannot detect defects on the thread surface. Recently, an omnidirectional inspection system for screw threads was developed to obtain $360^{\circ}$ images of screws, based on front light illumination. In this study, the illumination design for the omnidirectional inspection system was modified by adding a light shield to improve the image uniformity. Optical simulation for various shield designs was performed to analyze image uniformity of the obtained images. The simulation results were analyzed statistically using response surface method, from which optical performance of the omnidirectional inspection system could be optimized in terms of image quality and uniformity.
