Abstract:
The difficulty in vision technology application to 3D spherical objects lies in image capture and the post processing technology as image fusion. In this research, we design a multi-view automatic image capture machine, which consists of a storage device for golf balls to be inspected, two control mechanisms for ball fixing, one mechanism for ball rotation, four CCD cameras with adjustable viewing angle mechanism, and lighting devices. PLC+PC programmable control system is used to control the overall system and image capture timing of the machine. Digitized image capture, coordinate transformation analysis, and image fusion technology application are done by LabVIEW software. With this, the complete image of a whole golf ball can be obtained for further quality inspection. The technology developed in this research can be used in automatic inspection of the surfaces of golf ball, softball, and all kinds of balls.
