Details are as follows in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for a preferred embodiment of the present invention:

Referring to Fig. 1, this is based on the band tape graduation on-line automatic monitoring system of Flame Image Process, comprise a ccd video camera 1, a computing machine 8 and a stream line operation platform 6 that is equipped with image pick-up card, two tape measure draw-in grooves 7 and a shield assembly 4 of guiding tape measure 5 are housed on described stream line operation platform 6 table tops, described ccd video camera 1 is fixed on the shield assembly 4 directly over the tape measure, the tape measure surface is aimed in the visual field, a direct ring-type falls to penetrating light source 2 around being fixed on the described ccd video camera 1, a side led light source 3 is fixed on the shield assembly 4 of ccd video camera below side, and tape measure 5 can pass from two draw-in grooves 7 on the operating platform 6; Described computing machine 8 is connected with described ccd video camera 1 and is connected with warning alarm bell 9 by outlet terminal by its image pick-up card, is provided with the surface printing trace routine of a cover according to the compiling of tape measure surface characteristics in the computing machine 8; With different tape measure surface abstract be a group system parameter, obtain the tape measure surface image by ccd video camera 1, utilize computing machine 8 the tape measure surface image to be carried out analyzing and processing by program compiler.

Referring to Fig. 2, the band tape graduation online automatic detection method based on Flame Image Process of present embodiment adopts said system to detect.Computer Image Processing is analyzed: in the Vision Builder for Automated Inspection, the treatment technology of visual information mainly depends on image processing method, comprises the image graph image intensifying,, level and smooth, edge sharpening is cut apart, feature extraction, contents such as image recognition and understanding.After these processing, the quality of output image improves, and is convenient to computing machine image is further analyzed, and handles and identification, judges.Computing machine is to tape measure surface image handling procedure step (as Fig. 2):

1) pre-service.

(1) system's ccd video camera is to gather in the mode of frame/field, in view of the requirement (within 1/4 millimeter of the error, speed per second 5-6 rice) and video camera CCD hardware (the resolution pixel 768 of product of production line quality ^*576, frame per second 100/ second) basis, the length that system's ccd video camera single frames obtains tape measure is 10cm.

(2) figure image intensifying because the tape measure figure is intensive, must strengthen the pixel of needs.What native system adopted is the spatial domain enhancement techniques, utilizes the linear smoothing technology will need the scale that detects, and numeral strengthens.

(3) image binaryzation, the image that obtains from the colored CCD camera all is the RGB image, has blue (B) three compositions of red (R) green (G) to determine the color value of a point in the space.But these aberration are different from the sensation of human eye, even very little noise, perhaps the influence of illumination all can change the rgb value of position in the space.For these reasons, native system is converted into more stable HIS color space pattern, wherein H (tone), S (color saturation) and brightness (I) relatively with the rgb space pixel value.Conversion formula (suc as formula 1) is used H then, and S, I and given three threshold ratios are converted into black (needing to detect color) and (background color) two kinds of colors in vain with colour.Binaryzation has improved the contrast of image, thereby is convenient to next step detection and processing.

$\left\{\begin{array}{c}I=(R+G+B)/3;\\ H=\{90-\arctan (F/\sqrt{3})+(0,G>B;180,G<B)\}/360;\\ S=1-\min (R,G,B)/I;\end{array}\right.$ Formula 1

(4) image filtering, because the scale on tape measure surface is a vertical direction, pixel is based on vertical line, so native system has adopted the mean filter operator, wherein template (suc as formula R) has improved the effect of filtering.

$R=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1& 3& 1\\ 1& 3& 1\\ 1& 3& 1\end{array}\right]$ $f\left(\mathrm{2,2}\right)=\frac{\underset{i=1}{\overset{i=3}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}\underset{j=1}{\overset{j=3}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}f(i,j)*k(i,j)}{\underset{i=1}{\overset{i=3}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}\underset{j=1}{\overset{j=3}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}k(i,j)}$ Wherein (i j) is the template weights to k.

2) scale detects.

The pattern on tape measure surface mainly contains by scale and numeral to be formed.The first half on tape measure surface is a foot standard, and the latter half is the meter ruler standard.It is that benchmark comes single frames to detect that native system detects with the 10cm meter ruler, thereby realizes continuous detecting fast.

Determine the single frames detection reference, in ccd image, find out former frame and detect end point (promptly long calibration points) behind the 10cm, according to the distribution characteristics of scale, detect scale one by one then.Because after CCD obtains image, scale distortions that can become, interruption is so CCD must allow such error, so native system adopts search pattern as shown below to search for.

With pixel reference point (being black) is starting point, order according to a → h begins to search for scale pixel (black) then, in a single day when searching scale pixel (for example f), stop search, basic point moves to new scale pixel (f), again search when search highly surpasses scale mark, illustrates that scale mark is complete.Same principle, and then can judge the integrality of 10cm scale mark.

3) Digital Detecting

When 1cm judges in search in system, determine the reference point of 1cm, search for then with the digital rectangular area of reference point as relative position, with the respective digital data of having deposited in the numerical data base carry out right, calculate matching degree at last, size according to matching degree and threshold value compares, the final integrality of judging numeral.

4) foot

The foot of the first half of standard tape measure detects according to the meter ruler relative position of the latter half determines sensing range, and scale is identical with the digital detection and the detection principle of meter ruler.System obtains continuous single-frame images by ccd video camera, and through the single frames collection, single frames is handled, and single frames judges, thus realize to the tape measure surface in real time, efficient fast, robotization accurately detects.
