| description | Industrial visual machine inspection system uses template or feature matching
methods to locate or inspect parts or pattern on parts. These algorithms could not
compensate for the change or variation on the inspected parts dynamically. Such
problem was faced by a multinational semiconductor manufacturer. Therefore a
study was conducted to introduce a new algorithm to inspect integrated circuit
package markings. The main intend of the system was to verify if the marking can be
read by humans. Algorithms that the current process uses however, was not capable
in handling mark variations that was introduced by the marking process. A neural
network based pattern recognition system was implemented and tested on images
resembling the parts variations. Feature extraction was made simple by sectioning the region of interest (ROI)
on the image into a specified (by the user) number of sections. The ratio of object
pixels to the entire area of each section is calculated and used as an input into a
feedforward neural network. Error-back propagation algorithm was used to train the
network. The objective was to test the robustness of the network in handling pattern
variations as well as the feasibility of implementing it on the production floor in
tetms of execution speed.
Two separate programme modules were written in C++; one for feature
extraction and another for neural networks classifier. The feature extraction module
was tested for its speed using various ROI sizes. The time taken for processing was
round to be almost linearly related to the ROJ size and not at all effected by the
number of sections. The minimum ROJ setting (200 X 200 pixels) was considerably
slower at 5 5ms compared to what was required - 20ms. The neural networks
c1assifier was very successful in classifying 1 3 different image patterns by learning
from 4 training patterns. The classifier also clocked an average speed of 9.6ms
which makes it feasible to implement it on the production floor. As a final say, it can
be concluded that by carefully surveying the choices of hardware and software and its
appropriate combination, this system can be seriously considered for implementation
on the semiconductor production floor. |
