3D Vision Defect Detection

What 3D vision defect detection is?

3D vision defect detection uses 3D imaging and analysis to identify and classify defects in manufactured parts or products. Simpler than traditional 2D machine vision, it captures detailed 3D data about surface geometry and shape. The process includes 3 main steps:

1. 3D Data Capture:

3D imaging sensors (LASER scanners, structured light cameras, or time-of-flight cameras) capture dense 3D point clouds/depth maps of parts. These sensors measure x, y, and z coordinates of thousands/millions of points, providing accurate 3D representation.

2. 3D Data Processing:

Raw 3D data is processed and registered to the ideal geometry reference. Detected deviations, irregularities, or anomalies are analyzed using advanced algorithms. Defects disrupting the expected surface profile can be identified, including cracks, dents, warping, and missing material.

3. Defect Classification:

3D analysis software auto-classifies defects based on their 3D signature and geometry. Machine learning models train with labeled examples of defects. This system sorts parts into “excellent”, “good”, “qualified”, “poor” categories based on quality standards.

What are the benefits of 3D vision defect detection in industrial production?

1. 3D inspection: Enhances coverage of complex surfaces and prevents errors in 2D inspections.

2. Accurate measurements: Provides precise 3D data for accurate part characteristic measurements.

3. Reliable QC: Automated 3D inspection provides consistent, reliable defect detection without human error.

4. Reduced wastage: Early defect identification helps minimize manufacturing of unusable parts.

3D vision defect detection is a significant advance in industrial QC, providing additional dimensionality and precision for manufacturers, enabling new levels of product quality, process efficiency, and cost savings.

Intsoft 3D Vision Inspection System:

The inner support plate inside a cell phone often has various defects due to die-casting, and since the plate is a three-dimensional structure, a full 3D scan is necessary. The following is a demo of the cell phone’s inner support plate 3D data capture,  by using Intsoft Inspection System:
