Abstract

In this paper, we discuss a method for automatic construct system of an image inspection software for production engineer who has not enough knowledge of image processing programming. In the industrial field, an automatic program generator or expert system are expected to shorten the time from ordering of individually designed and manufactured appearance inspection system to delivery completion. So-called "image processing expert system" have been studied for over the nearly 30 years. We arc convinced of the need to adopt a new idea. Taguchi mcthod(TM) is one of the most popular technological development technique in the factory field. We have adopted this method to the image inspection processing expert system. So production engineers can make image inspection algorithms only by their production knowledge. It was verified from experiments that the proposed method was able to create inspection image processing programs. In the experiment result, our method could improve the success rate of almost all automatic visual inspection algorithms.
