Abstract

Surface defect inspection is an important part of quality control in mobile phone cover glass manufacturing. The traditional method is usually carried out manually by experienced inspectors and thus lacks sufficient efficiency and accuracy. In this paper, an automatic defect inspection system based on the principal components analysis is proposed for five typical cover glass defects: scratch, crack, deformation, edge broken, and angle cutting. This inspection system is robust for the defect shapes and obtains high recognition accuracy. The inspection system includes three parts: pre-processing, PCA-based defect recognition, and defect edge extraction. After pre-processing, most of noise and outliers are eliminated and the pixels of defects in the image are well enhanced for inspection and recognition. The eigen-defect matrix is constructed to characterize the variation between defect images. Additionally, time consumption in constructing the eigen-defect matrix is also discussed. The experimental results show that the inspection system has achieved high accuracy for inspection and recognition.
