EE 487 - Machine Vision3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits Course Description This course introduces the student to machine vision technology and its applications. Topics include lighting equipments and techniques, image acquisition devices/systems and techniques, and image processing techniques. Interfacing machine vision systems to other engineering systems are also discussed. Laboratory experiments and a class project include introduction to various kinds of vision systems, image processing techniques, and applications. (prereq: senior standing in EE or CE) Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Describe and apply the fundamental concepts of machine vision systems
- Describe and apply the principles underlying the application of machine vision systems
- Describe a variety of machine vision applications
- Describe the application of machine vision systems to industrial processes
- Write concise, professional technical reports
Prerequisites by Topic
- Knowledge of a programming language
- Knowledge of basics of physical science
- Understanding of manufacturing processes
Course Topics
- Introduction to machine vision, image sensing fundamentals, relationship to other disciplines (2 classes)
- Optics and lighting: fundamentals, practical light sources, imaging by lensing (2 classes)
- Cameras and sensors: rectangular and linear arrays, CCD sensor architectures (3 classes)
- Image processors and algorithms: windowing (generalized areas of interest), Sobel operator histograms, SRI algorithms (4 classes)
- Discussion of term paper requirements, one-hour exam (3 classes)
- Inspection case studies - examples, pistons, disk brakes, dishes, light bulbs, very high speed bottle inspection in packaging lines (4 classes)
- Perspective projective and pinhole camera models, world coordinates and transformations (2 classes)
Laboratory Topics
- Students use the ITEX system to acquire images and measure the effect of f-stop changes on pixel intensity. They also learn basic software commands for the ITEX system
- The second laboratory makes use of the OPCON linear array camera and processor. The camera field of view is computed and recorded, and a histogram of an edge is generated
- Using the ITEX systems, students design and implement a program which inspects an object of their choice
