Detailed Description
The invention will be described in further detail below with reference to specific embodiments and drawings. Here, the description of the embodiments is provided to help understanding of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
Example 1:
referring to fig. 2-3, a system for visual inspection of optical film defects is shown. The optical film defect visual inspection system is used for detecting defect defects of a film plane 1 (such as a polarizing film), particularly scratch-type defect defects.
The optical film defect visual detection system comprises a photographic device 2, a lens component 3, an illuminating light source 4, a dark field stop 5 and the like.
The film plane 1 can be arranged horizontally. The film plane 1 has a length direction and a width direction. During the visual inspection, the film plane 1 is driven by the external roller to move horizontally along the length direction.
The camera device 2 is arranged directly above the film plane 1. The camera device 2 defines a camera scan area 20 on the film plane 1. The scan region 20 has a length and a width. The length direction of the photographic scan area 20 extends along the width direction of the film plane 1. The photographic scan area 20 covers the entire width of the film plane 1, i.e. the photographic scan area 20 extends all the way from one long side of the film plane 1 to the other long side. The width direction of the photographic scan area 20 extends along the length direction of the film plane 1. In this embodiment, the photographing device 2 is a single photographing camera. In other embodiments, the photographing device is a linear array camera set arranged in a line or an area array camera set arranged in a rectangle.
The lens component 3 is arranged directly below the membrane plane 1. In the present embodiment, the lens member 3 is not limited to the selection of a cylindrical lens, an aspherical lens, a fresnel lens, or a free-form lens.
The illumination light source 4 is disposed directly below the lens part 3 at the focal plane position of the lens part 3. The length direction of the illumination light source 4 extends in the width direction of the film plane 1. The width direction of the illumination light source 4 extends along the length direction of the film plane 1. The illumination light source 4 corresponds upward to the photographic scanning area 20.
The dark field block 5 is arranged on the top surface of the illumination light source 4 at a mid-position (i.e., at and/or near the focal position) of the illumination light source 4. The dark field block 5 covers the entire width of the illumination light source 4, i.e. the dark field block 5 extends from one long side of the illumination light source 4 all the way to the other long side (see fig. 3).
Wherein the photographing scanning area 20, the lens part 3, the illumination light source 4 and the dark field block 5 have a common vertical center line.
The illumination light source 4 emits light upward. The light beam of the illumination light source 4 is divided into a shielding part and a non-shielding part according to the dark field stop block 5. The shielded portion is shielded by the dark field block 5 to form a film dark field in the photographing scanning area 20, and the film dark field covers the entire length and the entire width of the photographing scanning area 20, that is, the film dark field covers the entire photographing scanning area 20. The non-occluded part passes through the lens unit 3 to reach the photographic scanning area 20.
And (3) visual detection process: the film plane is translated and photographed by the photographing apparatus to obtain a photographed image with respect to the film plane. And judging whether the film plane 1 has a defect or not according to the shot image.
Visual inspection principle: referring to fig. 4, the light beams 17, 18 and 19 are emitted from the focal point of the lens component, and then are emitted in parallel as light beams 20, 21 and 22 through the lens component. I.e. the dark field stop will project a film dark field at infinity, equivalent to the lens component size, to the photographic scan area. The film dark field provides a dark field environment for the photographic device to photograph the film plane.
It should be noted that the film dark field is not a dark field with a gray scale of 0 in the strict sense. As can be further understood from the optical principle, the light beams 23, 24 and 25 emitted from the portion of the focal plane not blocked by the dark field block will be emitted in parallel as the light beams 26, 27 and 28 through the lens component. It can be seen that the light beam from the illumination source is also received by the camera device at the film plane, so that the dark field environment is actually a "bright" dark field. The degree of darkness of the film dark field is determined by the size of the dark field stop and the properties of the illumination source (length, power, etc., primarily length). In this embodiment, the ratio of the length of the dark field stop to the length of the illumination light source is 1/4. The proportional relation is not the only proportion of the embodiment of the invention, and the proportional relation can be properly adjusted according to actual requirements, so that the required dark field environment can be provided for the photographic device.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the captured image obtained by the camera device is a series of regularly arranged pixels. The pixel is for receiving a brightness distribution of the photogrammetric scan area of the film plane. Each pixel in the series of pixels receives an outgoing light beam from the illumination source. These outgoing light beams will illuminate the film plane in the form of parallel light. Taking three continuous pixels 30, 31 and 32 as an example, the circular areas 30a, 31a and 32a represent the corresponding brightness of the three pixels, and the brightness is expressed by the color depth. If there are no defect defects in the photo-scanned area of the film plane, the circular areas 30a, 31a, 32a are of the same color, i.e. equal intensity (i.e. fig. 5). If a defect exists in the photographic scanning area of the film plane, a scattering phenomenon occurs at a defect position where the light beam of the illumination light source passes through the film plane, so that the brightness at the positions of the pixels 30, 31, and 32 is changed from a uniform state to a bright-dark state, the brightness 30b at the position of the pixel 30 is darkest, the brightness 31b at the position of the pixel 31 is brightest, and the brightness 32b at the position of the pixel 32 is between 30b and 31b (i.e., fig. 6). This effect eventually presents a bright spot in the dark field in the captured image, from which defects can be discerned. For scratch defect, the shot image is often represented in the form of a bright dot strip, and the scratch defect which is originally invisible to naked eyes can be clearly seen in the shot image according to the form of the scratch defect.
If the lens component and the dark field stop block are removed, all parts of the light-emitting beams of the illuminating light source directly reach the photographic scanning area of the film plane, and the light-emitting beams of the illuminating light source are disordered in the photographic scanning area, so that the film plane is illuminated uniformly, that is, the defect of the film plane cannot be accurately identified from the shot image.
The lens component and the dark field stop are added to have a first function that the shielding part in the light-emitting beam of the illuminating light source forms a film dark field on the film plane, and a second function that the dark field stop shields the illuminating light source to directly irradiate the photographic device, so that the illuminating light source is in an oblique side lighting mode.
Example 2:
example 1 has a disadvantage that it is impossible to detect well whether the film plane has defects such as irregularities or crystal grains. This is because the defect such as a concave-convex point or a crystal point forms a single bright point in the captured image, and the bright point strip formed by the defect such as a scratch is less likely to be observed and the morphological feature thereof is lost, and the defect on the captured image loses its concave-convex feeling and is easily confused with the dust and impurities on the film plane, thereby increasing the detection difficulty.
The present embodiment is proposed for this purpose. Referring to fig. 7 to 8, in comparison with embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the dark field block 5 is shifted toward a long side direction of the illumination light source 4, so that the dark field block 5 only covers a part of the width of the illumination light source 4, that is, a part of the film dark field covered (dark) in the photographing scanning area 20 and another part of the film dark field uncovered (bright) in the photographing scanning area 20, so that the photographing apparatus 2 can better capture the brightness variation information on the photographing scanning area 20 of the film plane 1.
Referring to fig. 9, the brightness information received by a series of pixels in the photographing device is light and dark alternately, that is, only a part of a single pixel is illuminated and the other part is in a dark state. By the method, the brightness distribution of concave-convex points and crystal point defects in the shot image is more obvious, concave-convex information of the defects is not lost, dust and the like which do not belong to a detected object can be prevented from influencing the analysis of the final detection result, and flaw defect classification is facilitated.
Therefore, the comprehensive detection method can realize comprehensive detection of common defect defects such as scratches, concave-convex points, crystal points and the like.
The foregoing merely represents embodiments of the present invention, which are described in some detail and detail, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, and these changes and modifications are all within the scope of the invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
