    Lab Exercise 7.1 - Surface Flaw Detection: In-Sight Spreadsheets Advanced In-Sight Spreadsheets Advanced

    Uploaded by

    The document describes a lab exercise to teach participants how to use In-Sight's SurfaceFlaw detection tool and Mask tool to establish pass/fail conditions for detecting surface defects. The exercise has participants create a job to detect cracks or blemishes on a wall plate using PatMax for fixturing, SurfaceFlaw for detection, and Mask to eliminate non-relevant areas. Parameters of the SurfaceFlaw and Mask tools are adjusted to ensure only a long scratch is flagged as a defect while considering other blemishes as acceptable. Optional exercises are described to detect flaws on a cup, sponge and label using the same tools with adjustments for each part's geometry and expected defects.

    5. Click the Model button and position your region around something unique on
    Lab Exercise 7.1 – Surface Flaw Detection the plate, such as the screw opening and the first two squares.

    At the end of this lab exercise, Participants will be able to:


    • Create a job using the SurfaceFlaw detection tool and Mask to establish pass/fail
    conditions
    • Apply the SurfaceFlaw tool to detect surface defects such as cracks or blemishes
    • Utilize Mask to eliminate areas that are not of interest

    The Participant will utilize the following In-Sight Functions to successfully complete this
    exercise:
    • PatMax (Snippet)
    • SurfaceFlaw
    • Mask

    Surface Flaw Detection


    1. Browse to the SFD folder and open the Wall_Plate folder and cycle through the
    images to see the variations you will encounter.
    2. Use In-Sight 7402 emulation.
    3. Open a new job and save it as SFD_WallPlate. 6. Select the full field of view for the Search Region and then click the Train
    button.
    4. Drop down a few rows and insert the PatMaxFixture.cxd from the Snippets tab.
    7. Allow the Angle set to the default ±15º.
    You now have your fixture points next to the structure called Fixture.

    8. Drop down a few more rows and insert a comment Train Mask.

    9. Insert a Mask tool to be referenced by a SurfaceFlaw tool. NOTE: The Image being displayed shows the outline of the part where all the edges
    are found. This is because the Mask Method parameter is set to Edge Mask by
    NOTE: Mask is found under the Structures folder. default.

    10. Position your Region around the good Wall Plate (image 1.bmp)

    12. Select Largest Segment as the Mask Method and note the change in the image.

    11. Reference the Fixture’s Row, Col and Theta to the Fixture results found above.

    (SurfaceFlaw). Any pixels in the black area will be ignored.
    NOTE: There are some noise pixels along the edges of the part as well as the edges
    of the openings. We can adjust the mask to be a little cleaner.
    13. Increase the Median Kernel Size until the smaller pixels go away and click the OK
    button.

    17. Reference the Mask region as an External Region to the SurfaceFlaw tool.

    18. Allow the other defaults to remain and click the OK button.
    NOTE: Depending where you placed your Mask region there may be no defects found
    on the good plate (leftmost image).

    14. Drop down a few more rows and insert a comment Detect Surface Flaws
    15. Insert a SurfaceFlaw tool.
    NOTE: SurfaceFlaw is found under the Flaw Detection folder.

    19. Select the fifth image. The goal is to keep the long scratch in the upper right flagged 20. When you have succeeded in making the job identify just the scratch as a defect,
    as a defect, but to consider any other blemishes on this part as acceptable, ruling select the fourth image and observe what is identified as defect(s). Decide whether
    them out as defects: you agree. If not, try changing the parameters mentioned above to make it work
    properly.
    NOTE: You may decide that you only want to find a certain type of defect (like dark
    spots); you can tweak the tool to only select those flaws.
    Defect
    Not a defect

    Possible parameters to adjust:

    Decrease the Kernel size used for the mask


    Increase the Smoothing Factor in SurfaceFlaw
    Increase Minimum Contrast in SurfaceFlaw
    Detection Type (Fast vs Both) in SurfaceFlaw 21. Save the job as SFD_WallPlate.
    Detection Size in SurfaceFlaw

    NOTE: The size of the Kernel that is being used in the filtering behind the scenes is
    2N+1 where N is the Detection size. This needs to be larger than the size of the
    defect. By increasing this number, we are able to pick up the dark spot defect.
