Definitions
- the present invention relates to an inspection method for inspecting containers such as bottles according to claim 1 and an inspection device for inspecting containers such as bottles according to claim 11.
- Inspection methods and inspection devices are sufficiently well known from the prior art. These inspection devices usually have one or more inspection devices, such as cameras, which can take pictures of containers moving past them. It is known, for example, to include a side view of the container and / or a bottom view of the container and / or an opening view of the container in order to be able to detect any contamination of the container or even damage before the container is fed to further treatment steps. On the one hand, this can be advantageous in the manufacture of the containers, but on the other hand it can also offer advantages in the recycling of used containers. In the case of newly manufactured containers, it can thus be ensured that undesired malfunctions occur in the manufacturing process for the container. When recycling containers, it can be ensured that the containers are still intact and / or not contaminated with impurities that are difficult or impossible to remove (for example, corks that have fallen in or the like).
- the determination of whether such a contamination is present is usually carried out by comparing the recorded image with a reference image.
- the reference image usually represents the undamaged and / or uncontaminated container or the relevant part of the container (mouth, bottom, etc.).
- test containers are usually passed through the inspection device at regular intervals and the images recorded by these test containers are compared with reference images.
- the test containers have, for example, impurities applied at certain points. If these are not recognized or if "impurities" are also recognized in other places, this indicates that that the inspection device is not working properly.
- there are safety mechanisms which, in the event that the same “error” (e.g. contamination at the same point) is discovered for a series of consecutive containers, information is output that the inspection device presumably has an error or even that the inspection device has stopped is effected.
- test containers While these methods generally deliver good results when checking the containers, the use of test containers involves considerable effort in order to detect any errors in the inspection device. In addition, there is the possibility that a number of containers that have not been properly inspected will either be treated further as undamaged or incorrectly sorted out.
- the technical problem to be solved consists in specifying an inspection method and an inspection device for inspecting loading containers with which a reliable inspection of the container and reliable detection of errors in the inspection device is made possible.
- the inspection method according to the invention for inspecting containers comprises that an image of a container moved past the inspection device is recorded by an inspection device and the recorded image is compared with a reference image, the reference image being made up of a number of previously recorded images of is formed on the inspection device moving containers and depending on the comparison of the recorded image with the reference image, it is determined whether the inspection device is functional.
- the reference image is thus determined from the previously recorded images. If a newly recorded image deviates from the reference image (for example due to unintentional fogging of the inspection device), this can be recognized in this way. At the same time, the use of test containers is superfluous or can be carried out at significantly longer intervals than before, so that the throughput can be increased. Furthermore, the method can include a determination of a parameter characteristic of the functionality of the inspection device from the reference image and from the recorded image, and it is determined, depending on a difference between the parameter determined from the reference image and the parameter determined from the recorded image, whether the inspection facility is functional.
- Characteristic parameters for the functionality of the inspection device are usually independent of the container and relate, for example, to parameters that indicate that the inspection device (if designed in the form of a camera) is fogging up or that there is contamination in or on the lens. These parameters can also be recognized or derived from images recorded for different containers. This embodiment ensures that the analysis of the functionality of the inspection device is based on a container-independent parameter and thus an analysis of the functionality of the inspection device takes place independently of any contamination of the container.
- the characteristic parameters can either be parameters that result from an image pixel by pixel. When detecting contamination of the optics of the inspection device, for example, a number of pixels can be identified which represent the contamination. Alternatively, however, characteristic parameters can also represent parameters or information that result from a (statistical) evaluation of an image and thus independently of information assigned to a specific pixel. For example, the entropy of the image, the contrast or the image sharpness are independent of specific pixel values. These can also be understood as characteristic parameters.
- the invention can be applied both to characteristic parameters which can be obtained pixel by pixel and to characteristic parameters which require a (statistical) evaluation of the entire image.
- the mean values mentioned below can either be determined on a pixel basis (i.e. a corresponding mean value can be determined for the same pixel from a large number of images) or on the basis of a pixel-independent variable (entropy, contrast, Image sharpness per image, averaged over all images).
- the characteristic parameter comprises at least one of contrast, image sharpness, image content, information content of the image.
- the functionality of the inspection device can be determined particularly advantageously by using these characteristic parameters. Furthermore, if the difference in amount is greater than a predefined threshold value, the inspection device can be determined to be non-functional and / or if the difference in amount is smaller than the predefined threshold value, the inspection device can be determined to be functional. If, for example, the lens of an inspection device designed as a camera steams up, the contrast deteriorates considerably over a certain period of time. This becomes visible in the change in the corresponding parameter in the recorded images and thus also in the reference image. By taking into account the corresponding threshold value, it can thus be determined whether there is a deterioration in the ability of the inspection device for inspection.
- the reference image is determined as a mean value from the number of previously recorded images. Since averaged values are less susceptible to spontaneous changes in the images (which are usually characteristic of contamination), this averaging for obtaining the reference image ensures that information that is essentially independent of the container and therefore characteristic of the inspection device is used.
- the number of previously recorded images n ist and the reference image or at least one value a characterizing the reference image is determined from and wherein when a new image is recorded, a new reference image is determined, the characteristic value of the new image being a n + 1 , and wherein a new value characterizing the reference image is determined from or wherein the new value characterizing the reference image is determined from + ⁇ a n + 1-
- the characteristic value a can either be a value that can be determined for each pixel (for example its color values) or the characteristic value a, (also characteristic parameter) can be a value that is can only be determined from a (statistical) evaluation of the entire image information and thus (largely) independently of the values of individual pixels or is a value from which it is no longer possible to draw conclusions about the values of specific pixels in the image. These would be contrast, image sharpness, brightness and so on.
- the calculation of the characteristic value is also insensitive to singularly occurring events such as the actual contamination of a container. Furthermore, it can be provided that the inspection device records an image of each container moved past the inspection device and the recorded image is compared with the reference image. Since every container has to be inspected anyway, the images recorded can also be used advantageously for (permanent) checking of the functionality of the inspection device.
- the containers are not test containers. Since such use of test containers is no longer required, the throughput of the inspection device is increased.
- the method further comprises taking a picture of a test container moved past the inspection device and comparing the recorded image of the test container with the reference image to obtain a first comparison result and comparing a test image assigned to the test container with the reference image to obtain a second comparison result .
- the method further comprises a comparison of the first comparison result and the second comparison result and, depending on this comparison, it is determined whether the inspection device is functional. Since the test image or the image assigned to the test container shows a definitely clean and undamaged container, the two provided comparisons can ensure that any defective functionality of the inspection device is reliably determined.
- the inspection device for containers, such as bottles, comprises an inspection device and an evaluation device connected to the inspection device, the inspection device being designed to record an image of a container moving past the inspection device and to record the recorded image and / or at least part of the To transmit information of the image to the evaluation device, wherein the evaluation device is designed to compare the captured image with a reference image, wherein the reference image is formed from a number of previously captured images of containers moved past the inspection device and wherein the evaluation device is designed to determine, depending on the comparison of the recorded image with the reference image, whether the inspection device is functional and where the Inspection device for performing an inspection method is designed according to one of the preceding embodiments.
- the inspection device comprises a camera and a light source, a container being moved through between the camera and the light source by means of a transport device and the camera being arranged so that it takes an image of the container which is illuminated by the light source , can record.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an inspection device for carrying out the inspection method according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a flow chart for carrying out an inspection method according to an embodiment
- FIG. 3 shows a flow diagram of a further embodiment using test containers
- Figure 1 shows an inspection device 104 in a (not shown) container treatment plant.
- the inspection device 104 is arranged between two container treatment machines 101 and 102 arranged one after the other in the direction of transport of the containers.
- the container treatment machines can in principle be any conceivable container treatment machine.
- the first container treatment machine 101 upstream of the inspection device 104 can be a container cleaning machine.
- Container cleaning machines are commonly used to remove contaminants from recyclable containers, such as glass bottles.
- an inspection device 104 can advantageously be arranged in order to check whether the containers are present before a further treatment step (for example in a further container treatment machine 102 designed as a filler) are also fully cleaned as expected and / or show no damage, such as broken glass.
- the container treatment machine 101 can also be a machine that is somehow related to the manufacture of a container.
- it can be a blow molding machine, a stretch blow molding machine in general, a form filling machine or the like.
- the inspection device 104 is preferably arranged between a container treatment machine 101 assigned to the manufacture and / or cleaning of the containers and the further container treatment machine 102.
- the latter that is to say the container treatment machine 102, can preferably be a filler or a closer or a labeling machine.
- the further container treatment machine 102 particularly preferably comprises a filler, a closer (both can also be integrated in a container treatment machine), a labeling machine and / or a direct printing machine for applying one or more decorative elements to the containers.
- a packer can then also be designed, for example, as part of the container treatment machine.
- the invention is not limited with regard to the arrangement of the inspection device according to the invention in a container treatment system comprising upstream or downstream container treatment machines and the above explanations are only to be understood as examples.
- the inspection device according to the invention can in fact be arranged in any container treatment system in which inspection devices are usually used.
- the inspection device 104 always includes an inspection device 141, which is shown here as a camera.
- the inspection device 104 comprises, for example, a light source, such as the diffuser light source 143, which is arranged on the opposite side of the container compared to the camera 141.
- the containers 130 arranged in the transport device 143 are railed through by the diffuser light source and then the correspondingly railed-through containers are recorded as an image by the camera.
- a diffuser light source offers the advantage here that the illumination of the container is always uniform, so that any undesired images of the light source can be avoided.
- the transport device is designed, for example, as a conveyor belt or as the container-receiving centering device (for example comprising a stand plate and a centering bell).
- the images recorded by the containers are therefore always side views in the embodiment shown in FIG.
- inspection devices are known from the prior art with which an inspection of the mouth area and / or an inspection of the bottom of the container is also possible.
- the inspection device according to the invention can also be designed accordingly, so that an inspection of the mouth area or the bottom is also possible. This can usually be achieved by using suitable mirrors, for example, which redirect the diffuser light source in such a way that the opening area or floor area is illuminated and / or the floor area or opening area is imaged in the inspection device or camera 141.
- the containers can also be transported hanging or merely standing.
- the hanging transport is particularly advantageous when an inspection of the floor area is to be carried out.
- a standing only Trans port without the use of a centering device is to inspect the mouth area before geous.
- the inspection device usually comprises a control unit, such as a computer.
- This control unit is understood in particular as an evaluation device with which the images of containers recorded by the inspection device 141 can be evaluated.
- inspection device has been described here comprehensively as a camera 141 and a light source, in particular a diffuser light source 142, has also been described, other embodiments are also conceivable.
- all possibilities known in the prior art for inspecting containers can be implemented within the scope of the inspection device according to the invention, since the inspection device according to the invention requires that “images”, that is, some kind of visual information of the container to be inspected, be recorded.
- FIG. 2 shows the method according to the invention in the form of a flow chart.
- the method begins with a first step 201, in which, with the aid of the inspection device, an image of a container currently being moved past the inspection device 141 from FIG. 1 in the transport device 143, for example, is recorded.
- This can, for example, be an image that was recorded in the area of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to humans. Other parts of the spectrum can also be used to take an image.
- the recording can also include a part of the infrared and / or the ultraviolet and here in particular the X-ray spectrum. The invention is not limited in this regard.
- this reference image is generated from a number of previously recorded images of containers moved past the inspection device.
- “before” means that the images are taken before the current image.
- the number of previously recorded images on which the reference image is based can be fixed. For example, the last 300 images can always be used to calculate the reference image. It is not necessary that the previously recorded images are consecutive images of immediately consecutive containers. For example, only the image of every second container can be used to determine the reference image from a series of such images of every second container.
- the reference image can be determined or determined from the mean value of the previous images.
- the mean value a (n) results in relation to a specific characteristic a of the individual image points or pixels for the respective pixel from the following formula: flW where a, the value of a certain pixel in the i-th image and n can be the number of images.
- the mean value a (n) therefore gives the mean value of the characteristic (e.g. blue color value) of the pixel about all recorded or taken into account images n. In this way, an entire “reference image” can be determined from the previous images by repeating this process for each pixel.
- the procedure described here would apply, for example, to a pixel-by-pixel determination of the values a relevant for each pixel. This can be used to distinguish between stains on a lens and container contamination.
- the spots of the lens will find a correspondence in the values a (n) for the pixels that depict this spot, since a spot on the lens is present over a long period of time and thus over a large number of images (possibly even all) .
- Spots on individual containers on the other hand, only appear on one image, for example the image with number k, but not on the other images at the same point and thus at the same pixels, so that such container-specific contamination is strongly suppressed by the averaging for determining the reference image.
- characteristics can be used that do not result from a pixel-based assignment of values. This applies, for example, to contrast, image sharpness, entropy and the like. These “macroscopic” quantities, as it were, are calculated from all pixel values. However, a specific value of the contrast no longer allows any conclusions to be drawn about the pixel values of individual, specific pixels. These quantities are therefore only statistical quantities that can be assigned to entire images.
- the determination of the above mean value results in a “statistic of a statistic” so that the statistically determined values (for example contrast) of each image can be statistically evaluated together with the other images.
- a statistic of a statistic For example, by determining the mean value of the contrast over a large number of n images, it can be used to determine an average contrast, the accidental, non-system-related (i.e. not a contamination of the optics) changes in the contrast from image to image Less considered than systemic trends such as lens fogging.
- This mean value can then be used to examine the contrast of a currently recorded image. If the contrast deviates significantly from the previous average, this can be indicative of the lens fogging up.
- the calculation of the “reference image” does not require a complete calculation of an image.
- a “reference image” for checking the functionality of the inspection device for example, it is sufficient if the characteristic parameter or value or the characteristic, as described above, is determined from a large number of recorded images and compared with a currently recorded image. For example, only contrast values can be created as “reference images”. The images from which these contrast values were determined can, but do not have to, be saved.
- the comparison of the recorded image with the reference image then either provides information that the reference image agrees with the recorded image within a certain limit value or threshold value (standard deviation, for example). It can thus be provided that a deviation of the current image from the reference image (or the above mean value) by 0.5% is regarded as still coinciding with the reference image. This value is not mandatory. Absolute deviations can also be specified as threshold values or other relative deviations.
- step 203 If it is now determined in step 203 (regardless of the selected limit value or threshold value) that the image recorded by the container matches the reference image, the image currently recorded by the container can be used to generate a new reference value or a to calculate a new reference image in step 231.
- This step is not mandatory, but is advantageous in order to take into account any changes in the recording of the images caused by the aging of the inspection device, which are not related to an occurring deterioration in the inspection device.
- Operation can then be continued 205 using this new reference image.
- the reference image is not updated with every image of every recorded container, but rather only every image of every second container is used for updating the reference image. In such a case, step 231 would not then take place for every container. Operation is then continued 205 with the possibly new reference image, so that the method ultimately returns to step 201 and the image of a further container is recorded in order to inspect it.
- step 202 of comparing the recorded image with the reference image includes a comparison with regard to a parameter characteristic of the functionality of the inspection device, which is determined from the reference image on the one hand and from the recorded image on the other hand in order to determine certain parameters based on a comparison whether the inspection device works reliably.
- This parameter can be, for example, the overall contrast that is achieved in the recorded image or the reference image, the image sharpness of these two images or the image content as well as the overall information content of the image (here also the entropy of the image) act.
- These values are usually independent of the current container image with regard to existing contamination or broken glass, since the contrast, for example, is essentially determined by the light source on the one hand and by the inspection device on the other.
- Changes in the contrast of the recorded image compared with the reference image can therefore mean, for example, that the ob jective of a camera used as an inspection device is fogging up. Certain constants in the image content can instead indicate that there is contamination of the lens itself instead of contamination of the container.
- this reference image is determined from the mean value of the previously recorded images. This can follow in particular with regard to a value or parameter a (n) characterizing the reference image, as has already been mentioned above. If this value is the contrast, for example, then this can be determined by averaging the contrasts a i achieved in the previous images. This can be about respectively.
- the newly recorded image can then be used to determine a new reference value according to the formula can be used to determine the reference image or the characteristic value for the reference image (such as a contrast).
- the use of the current image to determine the updated reference image takes place advantageously only if a correspondence between the current image and the reference image is established within the threshold value (see step 203).
- the evaluation device can output a signal that a malfunction of the inspection device is likely and / or is present. This signal can for example be displayed on a screen for the operator, who can then check, for example, whether such impairment of the inspection device actually exists. As an alternative or in addition to this, it can also be provided that the evaluation device automatically stops the operation of at least the inspection device. Both are described with step 222.
- At least the image of the container currently recorded is advantageously discarded in step 223.
- the currently recorded image is discarded in step 223 because at this moment it is known that there is likely or definitely a malfunction of the inspection device and that the current image of the container was recorded with this malfunction. Using this correspondingly systematically incorrect image for the determination of an updated reference image would lead to incorrect results in the subsequent analysis of the subsequently recorded images with regard to the functionality of the inspection device.
- a defined number of previously recorded images is also discarded and the reference image is recalculated based on the previously recorded images.
- This can be advantageous in the event that the malfunction of the inspection device has developed over a certain period of time (e.g. Fogging of the lens of the container), but this malfunction was only so pronounced from a certain container onwards that it led to a mismatch between the image recorded by this container and the reference image. In this way, falsifications of the reference image can be kept as low as possible.
- step 223 is merely optional.
- the image can also be stored (permanently) in a memory associated with the evaluation device, for example for a further error analysis of the malfunction of the inspection device or of the entire inspection device.
- step 205 analogously to the first case in which a match between the currently recorded image and the reference value was established.
- the embodiments described so far have always made use of the fact that the inspection device only records and processes images of real containers (which are actually to be inspected by the inspection device for unknown defects or contamination) in order, for example, to determine whether the container is contaminated or damaged is and / or to determine at the same time whether the Inspektionseinrich device has an error.
- inventions of the method and inspection device according to the invention advantageously allow the waiver of the use of test containers in regular operation or at least the extension of the intervals in which no test containers are introduced into the inspection device in order to check in the usual way whether the inspection device tion has an error.
- FIG. 3 now describes a further embodiment of the method in which test containers are used in addition to the embodiments described so far. This can be particularly advantageous in order to detect deteriorations or errors in the inspection device that occur only very slowly.
- FIG. 3 the method according to this embodiment is shown again in a flow diagram.
- the method can be used at any time during the regular operation of the inspection facility. For example, after inspecting 10,000 containers, it can normally paint operation 301 start. At this point in time, in step 302, instead of a normal container, a test container is brought into the container flow through the inspection device. An image of the test container is then recorded from this container in step 303, analogously to the previously described method. This picture is taken with the Inspektionsein direction, as it would be done with a conventional container in order to avoid any systematic errors here.
- this recorded image is compared with the reference image in step 304, the reference image being the reference image already discussed with reference to FIG. 2.
- This comparison can either relate to the entire recorded image and the entire reference image or, as already explained in FIG. 2, only one parameter that characterizes the functionality of the inspection device, such as the brightness, the contrast, the image content or the entropy of the image is then initially determined from the recorded image in order to compare it with the corresponding value of the reference image.
- a first comparison result is obtained from this comparison, for example by forming the difference. This means that, for example, the contrast value of the reference image is subtracted from the contrast value of the recorded image of the test container. This difference then supplies a first comparison result 305.
- Steps 307 to 309 take place parallel to this or after the determination of the first comparison result or before the determination of the first comparison result.
- a test image that is assigned to the test container is retrieved from a memory assigned to the evaluation device or from another source. This test image was preferably created under ideal conditions of the inspection device and represents the test container. If a contamination is simulated at a certain point on the test container, for example, this can also be seen on the test image assigned to this test container.
- this test image is then compared with the reference image (analogous to step 304).
- a second comparison result is generated here in step 309.
- the first comparison result and the second comparison result are preferably of the same type, for example relate to either the entire image information, or the image content or the contrast, or corresponding other parameters that preferably characterize the functionality of the inspection device.
- a comparison 306 of the first comparison result and the second comparison result is carried out in the next step, for example by forming the difference between the respective parameters. If it is determined that the first comparison result and the second comparison result match (approximately to a certain error tolerance), the match can be determined in step 310 and at the same time or based thereon it can be concluded that the inspection device is functioning properly.
- step 311 normal operation can be continued in step 311 and the next container, for example, a container actually to be examined with the inspection device, can be guided past the inspection device, which is then inspected using the method according to FIG. 2 and at the same time it is determined whether the inspection device still works properly.
- the next container for example, a container actually to be examined with the inspection device
- step 306 If, on the other hand, it is determined in step 306 that the comparison results do not match (not even within the framework of an acceptable error tolerance or a threshold value), then if there is a lack of agreement 320, the operation can be stopped in step 321 and / or a warning can be issued, such as is displayed to an operator on a suitable display and prompts him to check the inspection device or the entire inspection device in order to determine, for example, whether it is in fact not working properly or whether it is working properly.
- the procedure described in FIG. 3 ensures, on the one hand, that the images of the test containers recorded with the current setting provide a correspondence with the expected image values (for example contrast or the like) within the framework of the reference image. On the other hand, by comparing the reference image with the test image, it is ensured that the image recorded by the inspection device actually corresponds to the expected image of the test container (for example, all of the contaminants provided on the test container are at the correct spot).
- the expected image values for example contrast or the like
- test bottles or generally test bodies or test objects which preferably have the shape of the container to be cleaned, by the container treatment machine and possibly also by the inspection device be guided.
- it can also be determined whether any discharge devices for containers are functioning correctly.
- the information obtained in this way can be logged, preferably together with corresponding results of the method according to the invention for checking the functionality of the inspection device.
- test protocol can be created which, in addition to the usual cyclical evaluations of the functionality of the bottle washing machine, also contains an (at least cyclical) statement as to whether the inspection device is functional.
- a log of the functionality of the entire container treatment system or at least the bottle washing machine and the downstream inspection device for example in the form of a single screen on a screen (for example a screen of an operator terminal of a container treatment system and / or the container cleaning machine and / or the inspection device ) make available the output file, such as a PDF file or a table.
- warnings can also be output and / or a stop function of the inspection device and / or the container treatment system or one or more container treatment machines such as the bottle cleaning machine can be output.
- warnings or signals are output depending on whether certain threshold values or parameters are exceeded.
- a warning can be issued that the optics of the inspection device will be cleaned soon should, for example, within the next 20 minutes. If this deviation continues to increase and subsequently reaches, for example, 1% of the reference value, for example the previously calculated mean value for the contrast based on the reference image, the container treatment system and in particular the inspection device can automatically be stopped, i.e. their operation can be interrupted and the operator be prompted to clean immediately.
