A hybrid defect detection method for compact camera lens

Production technology has increased rapidly with the development of industrial technology. Conventional human visual inspection is insufficient for conducting quality control under this increased capacity. Therefore, high-speed and high-accuracy automated optical inspection is becoming increasingly crucial. In this article, we propose an automated inspection method for a compact camera lens using a circle Hough transformation, weighted Sobel filter, and polar transformation. Our analysis of defects in the compact camera lens identified problems including of the circular texture and the non-fixed position of the inspection region. To overcome these problems, we design an inspection algorithm for locating and inspecting a circular region. A machine learning support vector machine method is then applied for obtaining a precise detection result. The experimental results show that the proposed inspection method is suitable for detecting defects in a complicated circular inspection region, and that the proposed system exhibited high performance.
