| Summary: | The tire marking points of dynamic balance and uniformity play a crucial guiding role in tire installation. Incomplete marking points block the recognition of tire marking points, and then affect the installation of tires. It is usually necessary to evaluate the marking point completeness during the quality inspection of finished tires. In order to meet the high-precision requirements of the evaluation of tire marking point completeness in the smart factories, the K-means clustering algorithm is introduced to segment the image of marking points in this paper. The pixels within the contour of the marking point are weighted to calculate the marking point completeness on the basis of the image segmentation. The completeness is rated and evaluated by completeness calculation. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the marking point completeness ratings is 95%, and the accuracy of the marking point evaluations is 99%. The proposed method has an important guiding significance of practice to evaluate the tire marking point completeness during the tire quality inspection based on machine vision. |
