Automated machine vision system for film analysis and defect recognition

Project
19027 AIToC
Type
New system
Description

Development of an imaging system to use for conductive and decorative film defect recognition. The system, placed in the production environment, will be used to analyze printing patterns, as well as to recognize possible defects happening in printing. The system is capable of recognizing between different defect types and quantifying their severity. Ultimately it should be able to provide also feedback to the operator with device tuning parameter values.

Research area(s)
Image processing and pattern recognition
Technical features

Tool is divided into modules:

  • Camera image pre-processing
  • Image segmentation
  • Feature recognition and computation of feature vectors
  • Segment classification

The tool is capable of recognizing 5 typical defects in conductive ink screen printing:

  • broken trace,
  • bumps,
  • hair,
  • saw pattern,
  • thinning of a trace.
Integration constraints

Solution is based on python, therefore python runtime with required libraries is required. For image acquisition, high quality camera system with controlled lighting is required.

Targeted customer(s)

End users of the Tactotek's manufacturing process. This system ultimately will become a software-hardware package offered as a service.

Conditions for reuse

Not yet concrete plans to establish conditions of reuse, because the tool is still under development.
