Description

Image inspecting device and image checking mehtod
Technical field
The present invention relates to check along each figure of direction measuring object thing that transport continuously, the same figure of construction good image inspecting device, image checking mehtod and be used for carrying out the program of Same Way whether.
Background technology
With the same figure of press printing regulation, each one the cut-out of each figure paper, corrugated paper, plastic sheeting or other thin slice (below, be called " the sheet-fed ") storage that is transported to regulation with travelling belt or other conveyer with the zone.
On figure printed on each sheet-fed, often result from paper supply skew in the printing equipment the printing skew, that printings such as the tone difference of the blending ratio adjustment deficiency of printing ink, the filth that the abnormal printing of the printing equipment that results from is bad, the foreign matter that results from adheres to are plunderred, resulted from the wiping of ink viscosity adjustment deficiency of resulting from is bad.
Therefore, after each sheet-fed has printed figure, each sheet-fed temporarily transport to storage area during, perhaps, during transport (for example, machining area or packaging area) from this temporary transient storage area to other operating area, that is, before each sheet-fed finally dispatches from the factory, must implement the figure inspection whether each figure obtains normally (that is, as designing) printing.
Usually, such inspection is undertaken by image inspecting device.
Image inspecting device comprises the memory storage of Memory Reference image, and each figure and this benchmark image are compared, and according to determinating reference, only has the figure more than being judged to be on an equal basis just to be judged as normal figure.
Under the situation that each figure is printed at the assigned position place on each sheet-fed, image inspecting device can judge without barrier whether each figure is good, but the situation that has each figure to depart from assigned position to be printed (situation of " position skew " takes place), the perhaps situation (situation of generation " angular deflection ") that is printed obliquely with respect to the carriage direction of sheet-fed.
Such position skew and angular deflection take place, and its reason is: (A) printing is with respect to the skew of the profile (perhaps, the center of each sheet-fed) of each sheet-fed; And (B) result from each sheet-fed transport with respect to both sides or a side in the skew of when shooting video camera (camera head).
And then the occurrence cause as (A) skew has: (a) paper supply skew; And (b) extraction skew.So-called paper supply skew refers to when graphic printing, supplies with the skew that takes place because sheet-fed departs from the position of regulation, so-calledly extracts skew, refers to the skew that blank for example etc. extracts with respect to printed pattern.
Each sheet-fed is after having carried out graphic printing, the figure inspection of carrying out during transporting to temporary storage area is On line inspection (carrying out the figure inspection simultaneously with printing), contrast with it, the figure inspection that each sheet-fed carries out during transporting to other operating area from temporary storage area be the off-line inspection (with printing not simultaneously, be after printing finishes, to carry out the figure inspection).
Like this, under the situation of occurrence positions skew or angular deflection, even figure itself normally is printed, because position skew or angular deflection also often are judged as improper figure.
In order to handle such problem, existing image inspecting device has carried out being used for avoiding resulting from the disposal of the erroneous judgement of position skew or angular deflection.
Usually, existing image inspecting device is made of following apparatus: camera head, each the printed figure on each sheet-fed that transports with constant speed along a direction is made a video recording, and make the check image of each figure; Memory storage is used for the Memory Reference image; And image processing apparatus, read benchmark image from memory storage, compare with the check image of each figure, judge whether each figure is good.
Fig. 7 is the skeleton diagram of the whether good process of judging of each figure in the existing image inspecting device.
For simplicity, suppose that sheet-fed 400 makes rectangular shape, each sheet-fed 400 transports continuously along direction A, on each sheet-fed 400, and printing equilateral triangle figure 500.This equilateral triangle figure 500 supposes that the center (center of gravity) of equilateral triangle figure 500 is consistent with the center 401 of sheet-fed 400 under the situation of normal printing, and, one side be printed as carriage direction A quadrature with sheet-fed 400 among three limits of equilateral triangle.
Camera head is made a video recording to each printed on the sheet-fed 400 equilateral triangle figure 500, makes the check image of figure inspection usefulness.

At first, image processing apparatus on the check image of equilateral triangle figure 500, detection position side-play amount Y, X and angular deflection amount θ.
Then, shown in Fig. 7 (B), image processing apparatus is on the check image of equilateral triangle figure 500, and is initial, makes 500 translations of equilateral triangle figure, and position offset Y, X are decided to be zero.That is image processing apparatus is consistent with the center 401 of sheet-fed 400 by the center that makes equilateral triangle figure 500, thereby makes the position skew on the carriage direction A and eliminate with the position skew on the direction B of carriage direction A quadrature.
And then, shown in Fig. 7 (C), image processing apparatus is on the check image of equilateral triangle figure 500, centered by the center 401 of sheet-fed 400, make equilateral triangle figure 500 be rotated in a clockwise direction an angle θ (affined transformation), angular deflection is eliminated.Under this state, equilateral triangle figure 500 is on check image, be in the position that should locate originally (that is, the center of equilateral triangle figure 500 is consistent with the center 401 of sheet-fed 400), and, the direction that sensing should be pointed to originally (that is, one side becoming among three limits of equilateral triangle figure 500 is parallel with direction B).
Thereafter, whether image processing apparatus will so have been proofreaied and correct position skew and angular deflection on check image equilateral triangle figure 500 compares with the benchmark image of reading from memory storage 502, judge good as the figure of equilateral triangle figure 500.
As mentioned above, existing image inspecting device detect position skew and angular deflection and proofreaied and correct position skew and angular deflection after, check image and the benchmark image of each figure compared.
Therefore, can avoid resulting from the erroneous judgement of position skew or angular deflection, can correctly judge each figure well whether.
As such image inspecting device, the image inspecting device described in patent documentation 1 and 2 is arranged.

(second embodiment)
In the image inspecting device 100 of above-mentioned first embodiment, the indexing unit 1221C of central processing unit (CPU) 1221 from a plurality of angularity corrections that are stored in first memory storage 124 with among the images, the retrieval angularity correction usefulness image (the step S140 of Fig. 5) with the angular deflection amount θ angle same of equilateral triangle figure 200 that tilts.
First memory storage 124 will store with image as angularity correction with respectively the tilt image of 0.1 degree of counter clockwise direction both sides around the center (center of gravity) of equilateral triangle figure 200 to the scopes of 10 degree at 0.1 degree in the clockwise direction with respect to the equilateral triangle figure 200 of normal printing, but can have do not exist to tilt one with the angularity correction of the angular deflection amount θ angle same of equilateral triangle figure 200 situation of image.
Therefore, in second embodiment, the tilt angularity correction image of an angle the scope of the angular deflection amount θ ± α of equilateral triangle figure 200 in of the indexing unit 1221C of central processing unit (CPU) 1221 retrieval is with one of the replacement inclination angularity correction image with the angular deflection amount θ angle same of equilateral triangle figure 200.
For example, if be set at α=0.05 degree, then first memory storage 124 to the scope of 10 degree, covers whole inclination angles at 0.1 degree.
If the angular deflection amount θ of equilateral triangle figure 200 is set at 0.14 degree, then in the image inspecting device 100 of first embodiment, detect the angularity correction with the angular deflection amount θ angle same of equilateral triangle figure 200 and become impossible with image.To this, in the image inspecting device of present embodiment, because under the situation that is set at α=0.05 degree, 0.14 degree is included in the scope of 0.1 ± 0.05 degree, so indexing unit 1221C retrieval is used image as a comparison with the angularity correction image of the angle inclination of 0.1 degree.
Like this, image inspecting device according to present embodiment, one is not stored into situation in first memory storage 124 with the angularity correction of the angular deflection amount θ angle same of equilateral triangle figure 200 with image even tilt, and can extract out with this angularity correction with the most approximate angularity correction image of image yet.
Perhaps, the indexing unit 1221C of central processing unit (CPU) 1221 retrieval tilt one with the angular deflection amount θ of the equilateral triangle figure 200 angularity correction image of approximate angle the most, also be possible with angularity correction with the angular deflection amount θ angle same of equilateral triangle figure 200 of replacement inclination with image.
For example, be under the situation of 0.14 degree at the angular deflection amount θ of equilateral triangle figure 200, indexing unit 1221C extracts out with close to the i.e. angularity correction image that tilts of the angle of 0.1 degree of the angle of 0.14 degree, uses image as a comparison.
Utilizability on the industry
In the above-described embodiment, check that object is that figure 200 is printed on the thin slice 210, but as thin slice 210, except plastic sheeting, also comprise paper, corrugated paper, by the sheet material (plate object) that rigid body constitutes, other is the object of all flat shapes (two-dimensional shapes).
Moreover the program that image inspecting device of the present invention, image checking mehtod and being used for carried out Same Way is not limited to the object of flat shape (two-dimensional shapes), also can be applicable to the object of three-dimensional shape (3D shape).For example, under the situation that same mechanical part is transported, because from above flat shape (two-dimensional shapes) when seeing each of these mechanical parts also be considered to a kind of of figure, so also can apply the present invention to the complanation figure of mechanical part.
Moreover, for three-dimensional shapes such as mechanical part (3D shape), for example, by from the top, side (four directions), below, oblique upper, tiltedly a plurality of directions such as below are implemented figure inspection of the present invention, and these check results are comprehensive in addition, also can implement the 3D shape inspection in the three-dimensional shape.
