  • Patent number: 6166393
    Abstract: In a method an an apparatus for automatic inspection of moving surfaces using at least three different illumination/observation channels, the surface to be inspected under a bright field condition is illuminated by a first beam of light from a first light source. The light of the first beam of light reemitted from the surface is received by a light sensitive sensor device to obtain a first signal. Then, the surface is illuminated under a dark field condition by a second beam of light and by a third beam of light from a second and a third light source, respectively, the first, second and third beams of light having different characteristics. The light of the second beam of light and the light of the third beam of light, respectively, reemitted from the surface are received by the light sensitive sensor device to obtain a second signal and a third signal. Finally, a physical property of the surface is derived from the first, second and third signals.

  • Patent number: 5436984
    Abstract: A filter for performing dilation and/or erosion operations associated with mathematical morphology using a W.times.H rectangular structuring element to a two-dimensional matrix of discrete values, the width of the matrix being x and the height being y, includes a horizontal portion for applying the selected operation to a W.times.1 local neighbourhood and a vertical portion for applying the selected operation to a 1.times.H local neighbourhood. According to one aspect of the filer, the portions are connected one after the other and the matrix elements are applied serially to the first portion, the output of one portion being connected to the input of the other portion. Each of the above-mentioned portions includes a multiplicity of delay devices, each device providing an equal delay, and a multiplicity of comparing devices for comparing two input values.

  • Patent number: 5263094
    Abstract: A method of and an equipment for optical inspection of strip and sheet products for the detection of surface defects, which equipment comprises an image forming apparatus 1, 2 for producing images of successive parts of the surface of a product 3 and for converting the images to analog signals 4, an A/D converter 5 for converting the analog signal to a digital signal 6, and an image analyzing unit 7 for analyzing the digital signal to detect surface defects therefrom. To reduce the data processing capacity required of the image analyzing unit, the equipment further comprises a compression unit 8 arranged between the A/D converter and the image analyzing unit for compressing the digital signal before it is analyzed.
