Automated Visual Inspection Software

Does Your Production Line Need AVI? - Take a Test!

Why is AVI Better than Manual Inspection?

Machine vision has a number of advantages in comparison with human vision:

Higher optical resolution.
Measures absolute dimensions and intensity values.
Wider “visible” spectrum.

Very fast and precise calculations.
Higher processing speed.
“Absolute” memory.

Besides that, the automated visual inspection systems have several pros that are intrinsic to the entire machine kind:

Unbiased.
Persistent.
Work without fatigue.

Follow instructions unquestionably.
Can operate in risky and dangerous conditions.

AVI Software Use Cases

Quality Control

Ensuring high production quality by reducing both false positive and false negative test results.

Production Line Automation

Minimizing efforts required for defects detection through the automation of monotonous visual inspection, grading and sorting tasks.

AVI Software We Build

AVI system structure

Equipment for image acquisition (lighting or a radiant; a digital camera, photometer, colorimeter, etc.), software running (a processor) and data output (monitor, printer, etc.).
Supplementary equipment (e.g., for grading and sorting).
Software that processes digital images and produces a valuable output.

explore the processing chain of the AVI system

ScienceSoft creates AVI software that analyzes images captured by a digital camera, starting with preprocessing and up to the final decision step.

AVI Challenges ScienceSoft Solves

Object variability

For complex objects, significant variations exist in the appearance of both normal and defective items.

Check out the solution

The solution:

The decision-making part of the AVI system is based on machine learning methods. In order to learn how to distinguish between normal and defective objects, it needs a large dataset of possible variations in their appearance. Having enough data to train the machine learning algorithm, we can ensure its ability to make accurate decisions.

Very small and non-distinctive details

Recognizing features and objects may be difficult if they have a very small size (such as PCA components) or melt into the background (a gray caption on a gray background).

Check out the solution

The solution:

Depending on the task, our specialists will implement advanced image preprocessing, segmentation and feature extraction techniques to machine vision software to enhance the image and extract valuable information.

Hide

Illumination variability

Changes in the illumination affect the resulting images creating new lines and disguising existing ones.

Check out the solution

The solution:

Ensuring uniform lighting conditions
Implementing advanced machine learning algorithms.

If uniform illumination is not available, it is possible to mitigate the effects of bad illumination using more sophisticated preprocessing and edge detection algorithms.
