Non-Contact Three-Dimensional Measuring System

摘要

a non-contact video inspection system has been developed and implemented for inspection of small parts (smaller than 12 inches by 10 inches by 6 inches). The system uses a computer which processes the video image. Edge definition is determined through an algorithm which locates the point of maximum contact. Parts are located on a movable table, with table motion programmed through a user-friendly menu. Once a program is established for a particular part, the program can be rerun any number of times desired. Part inspection time has been reduced from hours to minutes.
