Development on Inspection System for Gear’s Dimension Based on Machine Vision

Abstract

A noncontact inspection system for gear based on machine vision is developed in this work, according to the mathematical model of lens distortion; the calibration of the camera was realized by the MATLAB calibration toolbox, obtained the distortion coefficients, by which the pixel is proofread. After then the key parameters of gear could be automatically acquired with proposed algorithm. In this work, the algorithm is applied to a practical case of a standard spur gear; the experimental results reported here confirm the effectiveness of the approach.
