  • Patent number: 9256912
    Abstract: In order to measure a measurement target on a PCB, height information of the PCB is acquired by using a first image photographed by illuminating a grating pattern light onto the PCB. Then, a first area protruding on the PCB by greater than a reference height is determined as the measurement target by using the height information. Thereafter, color information of the PCB is acquired by using a second image photographed by illuminating light onto the PCB. Then, the first color information of the first area determined as the measurement target out of the color information of the PCB is set as reference color information. Thereafter, the reference color information is compared with color information of an area except for the first area to judge whether the measurement target is formed in the area except for the first area. Thus, the measurement target may be accurately measured.

  • Patent number: 9221128
    Abstract: A method of inspecting a solder joint through which a lead of a semiconductor device is mounted on a printed circuit board is disclosed. The method includes setting an estimated solder joint region at an outside of an end of the lead of the semiconductor device, capturing an image of the estimated solder joint region, calculating a height of solder joint in the estimated solder joint region by using the captured image of the estimated solder joint region, and determining whether the solder joint is defective by comparing the height of the solder joint in the estimated solder joint region with a reference height of a solder joint, which is previously set. According to the method, reliability of inspection is enhanced regardless of environmental noises.
