Implementación de un módulo para el control de calidad mediante procesamiento de imagen en el laboratorio de control y manipulación automática de la carrera de Mantenimiento Industrial

Abstract

This work aimed to implement a module for quality control through image processing. for this the desired operation of the module was established and the particularities that it would have were recognized, a conveyor belt was designed and digitally simulated to select the possible materials, equipment and elements that make it up, designed the sensor and actuator circuits connected to the universal connection terminal used by all the training modules of the Automatic Control and Handling Laboratory, programmed the controller and successfully integrated with the image processing performed in the computer, established acceptance and rejection criteria for the elements entered, processed and classified on the conveyor belt. Through the functional tests performed, the program performed in the LabVIEW software was tested and perfected to detect and classify the elements as thoroughly as possible, the image processing method was conditioned under lighting conditions in controlled environments, such as laboratories with artificial lighting, as well as spaces with natural daylight exposure, the image processing is configurable and applicable to any type of small element that fits or enters the conveyor belt path. One of the factors that most affect the image processing is the illumination to which the samples to be analyzed are exposed. This factor can cause the result of the image processing to be erroneous; therefore, an enclosed and adequate space with sufficient and necessary illumination should be available so that the results obtained from the image processing by the computer are as precise as possible, especially in the case of production lines that require an automatic inspection of excellent quality.
