Automated Inspection of Flexible Assembly: System Design and Algorithm Research

Quality control plays an important and key role in manufacturing process. This paper defines a problem realizing real-time quality control based on image processing and sensor network, divides the problem into four sub-problems, as well as puts forwards the overall schema to solve the problem. Then the first sub-problem, object recognition, is focused on, its system design pattern is presented, and main algorithms of each step are studied. Some experiment results are given to show the good performance of the proposed system for object recognition sub-problem.
