The shape edge measure of automobile airbag based on image processing

At present, micrometer is used for measure the shape edge of automobile airbag. There are some shortcomings in this method. The number of test points is limited. Test data is not comprehensive. Detection speed is slow and a fixture can only test a kind of airbag. The method of airbag shape edge detection based on image processing is researched in this paper. The image of airbag is collected by CCD, and then it is sent to the computer to be processed and segmented. The edge of image is extracted through Canny edge detection algorithm in order to acquire shape edge of airbag in this paper, and the image similarity degree are calculated to provide the information of matching in the template matching process. Finally the comprehensive test shape edge of airbag is realized. The experimental results show that the detection method is effective feasible, intuitive and clear.
