Fig. 6 relates to the defective oral area of container 7, and epimere represents outboard profile, and hypomere represents the schematic diagram of the mouth images photographed by camera.In the outboard profile of epimere, damaged 72 is the breakage of thread end, and breakage 73 is the breakage in the general portion of screw thread, and breakage 74 is the breakage in thread periphery portion, and damaged 76 is the breakage of end face.In the mouth images of hypomere, when thread end has damaged, dark breakage image 72a display adjacent with breakage image 72b.The breakage image 73a in the general portion of screw thread more secretly shows in the ring of screw image 70a.The breakage image 74a in thread periphery portion more secretly shows at the peripheral part of screw image 70a.The breakage image 76a of end face more secretly shows in the top plane view of ring-type is as 75a.
(generation inspection door)
Then, the generation of inspection door is described based on Fig. 7 ~ 12.
By step 201...... in screw image section sets periphery circle scope,
In mouth images, set the periphery circle scope 20 between inside and outside two circles represented with thick dot-and-dash line at the epimere of Fig. 8.Centre coordinate and the radius of these two dot-and-dash line circles preset.Automatically draw radially from the center of inside and outside two circles and check line, between inside and outside two circles, carry out inspection line edge detection.Using concentration from bright sharply dimmed, detect from the place secretly sharply brightened as edge.With detect from secretly brighten and the condition of maximum circle to carry out marginal check from cylindrical towards inner circle time, periphery, threaded portion is detected as edge, draws circle approx from the point of the periphery, threaded portion detected.So as shown in the hypomere of Fig. 8, the approximate circle detected is consistent in fact with the periphery of screw image 70a, forms periphery rounded edge 20a.
Whether can be detected the periphery rounded edge of screw image by step 202......, and calculate center?
As shown in Fig. 8 hypomere, judge whether to be formed with periphery rounded edge 20a and whether calculated its center O1, when NO, exporting defective signal as NG, when YES,
Carry out step 203...... with the center of periphery rounded edge for starting point, in the process of screw image section sets inner circumferential circle scope.This epimere at Fig. 9 sets the inner circumferential circle scope 21 between inside and outside two circles of being represented by thick dot-and-dash line.The center of these two dot-and-dash line circles is the center O1 of periphery rounded edge 20a, and radius presets.Afterwards, automatically draw radially from the center of inside and outside two circles and check line, between inside and outside two circles, carry out inspection line edge detection.When carrying out marginal check to detect from inner circle towards cylindrical from the condition of the maximum circle secretly brightened, as shown in the hypomere of Fig. 9, less dot-and-dash line circle is consistent in fact with the inner circumferential of screw image 70a, formation inner circumferential rounded edge 21a.Thus, the position of screw image 70a in shooting picture (coordinate) is determined.
Whether can be detected the inner circumferential rounded edge of screw image by step 204......, and calculate center?
As shown in Fig. 9 hypomere, judge whether form inner circumferential rounded edge 21a and calculated its center O2, when NO, export defective signal as NG, when YES, enter into step 205.
Above step 201 ~ step 204 processes in ring-type inspection door testing agency 2a, and later step 205 ~ step 209 processes in thread end position detecting device 2b.
Carrying out step 205...... is the process detecting thread end and set ring-type inspection door in screw image.Figure 10 is the example of ring-type inspection door 22.Like this, in order to be harmonious with periphery rounded edge 20a, ring-type inspection door 22 is preferably set to several amount of pixels (such as 2 ~ 3 pixels) more more outward than inner circumferential rounded edge 21a.
The dark part of the deep or light difference of more than regulation is detected in step 206......?
As shown by the arrows in Figure 10, in ring-type inspection door 22, along the circumferential direction carry out deep or light difference, search for from bright dimmed edge and right from the edge secretly brightened.Larger and the right interval at edge of deep or light difference, close to setting, is detected as thread end.The right interval at edge pre-determines.
By the section sets thread end inspection door that step 207...... is detecting,
As shown in figure 12, thread end inspection door 23 is set in the mode comprising the dark part detected.The size of thread end inspection door pre-determines.Afterwards, pass through
Step 208...... carries out pattern match with login image in thread end inspection door,
Detect the position of thread end.The symbol 77 of Figure 12 is the typical thread end image logged in, and carries out the pattern match of the image in thread end inspection door 23 with it.Pattern match ratio presets.Afterwards, carry out
Does step 209...... have the thread end image of the pattern match ratio exceeding setting?
Judgement, when pattern match, judging that this image is thread end, enter damage testing mechanism of thread end left and right portion 3, when only finding the image not exceeding pattern match ratio, exporting defective signal as NG.
(thread end left and right portion damage testing)
Then, based on Figure 11,12, thread end left and right portion damage testing is described.
By the left and right setting left and right portion inspection door of step 301...... at thread end,
Be adjacent to set left and right portion inspection door 24 with the left side of the thread end detected by pattern match and right side.The size of left and right portion inspection door 24 pre-determines.Afterwards, pass through
Step 302...... sets deep or light difference, the area threshold of left and right portion inspection door,
Threshold value in setting thread end left and right portion damage testing.Deep or light difference limen value specifically detects the pixel darker than set threshold value, and area threshold is the threshold number of pixels of the block of the dark pixel becoming below this deep or light difference limen value.Afterwards, pass through
Does step 303...... have the pixel darker than deep or light difference limen value at left and right portion inspection door?
In each left and right portion inspection door, judge whether the pixel of below deep or light difference limen value, when NO, be judged to be certified products (thread end left and right portion is without breakage), when YES, pass through
Does step 304...... have at left and right portion inspection door the image having exceeded area threshold?
Judge whether the pixel count becoming the block of below deep or light difference limen value has exceeded area threshold, when NO, be judged to be certified products (thread end left and right portion is without breakage), when YES, be judged as that there is breakage (defect) in thread end left and right portion.
Figure 12 is the example that thread end has damaged situation, and in ring-type inspection door 22, breakage image 72a, 72b are dimmed.Breakage image 72a is the approximate shape logging in image 77, therefore pattern match, but owing to setting left and right portion inspection door 24 with being adjacent and checking, so be judged to be defectiveness by detecting breakage image 72b.In the present invention, the breakage of thread end is detected like this.
(screw thread general portion damage testing)
Next, based on Figure 13,14, screw thread general portion damage testing is described.
By the segmentation inspection door that ring-type inspection door is split to form by the line of step 401...... setting radial direction,
As shown in figure 14, generation radial direction line by ring-type inspection door 22, part beyond thread end inspection door 23 (part of pattern match) is divided into multiple segmentation inspection doors 25.Segmentation inspection door is by except thread end inspection door part.Afterwards, pass through
Deep or light difference, the area threshold of step 402...... setting segmentation inspection door,
Threshold value in setting screw thread general portion damage testing.Deep or light difference limen value specifically detects the pixel darker than set threshold value, and area threshold is the threshold number of pixels of the block of the dark pixel becoming below this deep or light difference limen value.Afterwards, pass through
Does step 403...... have the pixel darker than deep or light difference limen value at segmentation inspection door?
In each segmentation inspection door, judge whether the pixel of below deep or light difference limen value, when NO, be judged to be certified products (the general portion of screw thread is without breakage), when YES, pass through
Does step 404...... have at segmentation inspection door the image exceeding area threshold?
Judge whether the pixel count becoming the block of below deep or light difference limen value exceedes area threshold, when NO, is judged to be certified products (the general portion of screw thread is without breakage), when YES, is judged to be that there is breakage (defect) in the general portion of screw thread.
Shown in Figure 14 is the example having the situation of breakage image 73a because of the breakage 73 in the general portion of screw thread, because breakage image 73a is darker than other parts of segmentation inspection door, so be judged to be that there is breakage (defect) in the general portion of screw thread.
(thread periphery portion damage testing)
Secondly, based on Figure 15,16, thread periphery portion damage testing is described.
The neighboring detection segmentation inspection door annular section comprising ring-type inspection door is split to form by the line of step 501...... setting radial direction,
Neighboring detection segmentation inspection door 26 is set in mouth images.As shown in figure 16, annular section preferred thread periphery edge 20a now enters into centre.Neighboring is detected except thread end inspection door 23 (part of pattern match) part with segmentation inspection door 26.
Detected the light sensitivity detecting neighboring with the setting of segmentation inspection door in neighboring by step 502......,
As at Figure 16 hypomere with shown in thick arrow, outside-in is searched for neighboring detection segmentation inspection door, and detects and become the position of the neighboring of more than the lightness setting light sensitivity.Set by light sensitivity, can set and detect the high edge of deep or light difference or detect the low edge of deep or light difference.
The threshold value of the neighboring difference of adjacent neighboring detection segmentation inspection door is set by step 503......,
Calculate the distance (Figure 16 hypomere dotted arrow) from position, neighboring to centre coordinate that each neighboring detection inspection door is detected.By calculating the difference of the distance calculated each other at adjacent door at periphery complete cycle, calculate the concavo-convex of periphery.The threshold value of difference when being set with difference.Afterwards, pass through
Does step 504...... have the image exceeding neighboring difference limen value?
As shown with arrows in the hypomere at Figure 16, the lateral direction of inspection door is split to inward side to scanning from the detection of each neighboring, calculate the distance from the marginal position detected to centre coordinate, and adjacent each neighboring detection segmentation inspection door is asked poor, judge whether this difference exceedes threshold value, when NO, be judged to be certified products (thread periphery portion is without breakage), when YES, be judged to be that there is breakage (defect) in thread periphery portion.
What Figure 16 hypomere represented is the situation having breakage image 74a because of the breakage 74 in thread periphery portion, thus, the edge detected of the neighboring detection segmentation inspection door of this part is shorter than this adjacent length to the length at center, detects that thread periphery portion is damaged.
(end face damage testing)
Secondly, based on Figure 17,18, top part damage testing is described.
The process of end face segmentation inspection door mouth top part is split to form with the line of radial direction by step 601...... setting,
The top plane view of the ring-type in mouth images is as the end face inspection door 27 setting ring-type on 75a.The establishing method of end face inspection door 27 is varied, such as, have the periphery circle of radius ratio inner circumferential rounded edge 21a fractional pixel being set to end face inspection door, the circle of its also little suitable pixel count of radius ratio is set to the method for inner circumferential.In addition, with the line of radial direction, end face inspection door 27 is split, set end face segmentation inspection door 27a as shown in figure 18.Afterwards, pass through
Step 602...... sets deep or light difference, the area threshold of end face segmentation inspection door,
Threshold value in setting end face damage testing.Deep or light difference limen value specifically detects the pixel darker than set threshold value or the pixel brighter than set threshold value, and area threshold is the threshold number of pixels becoming the pixel darker than this deep or light difference limen value or be worth the block of bright pixel than this deep or light difference limen.Afterwards, pass through
Does step 603...... have at end face segmentation inspection door the image exceeding deep or light difference limen value?
In each end face segmentation inspection door, judge whether the pixel exceeding deep or light difference limen value, when NO, be judged to be certified products (end face is without breakage), when YES, pass through
Does step 604...... have at end face segmentation inspection door the image having exceeded area threshold?
Judge whether the pixel count exceeding the block of deep or light difference limen value exceedes area threshold, when NO, is judged to be certified products (end face is without breakage), when YES, is judged to be that end face has breakage (defect).
What Figure 18 represented is the example having the situation of breakage image 76a because of the breakage 76 of end face, because breakage image 76a is darker than the other parts of end face segmentation inspection door, is therefore judged to be that end face has breakage (defect).
Be judged to be NG by inspection door testing agency 2, or be judged to be that defective container utilizes the valve 13a of Fig. 2 to get rid of by the arbitrary pick-up unit in damage testing mechanism of thread end left and right portion 3, damage testing mechanism of screw thread general portion 4, damage testing mechanism of thread periphery portion 5, top part damage testing mechanism 6.
