We are excited to introduce DEEP LIGHTING, our advanced industrial vision inspection solution designed to address specularity issues on highly reflective surfaces such as lacquered, chrome, steel, and stainless steel parts. Discover how this innovation can transform your manufacturing processes by effectively managing unwanted light reflections using advanced technologies.
INDUSTRIAL VISION INSPECTION: TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION AT THE HEART OF DEEP LIGHTING
After two years of research and development, Deep Capture has designed a multi-LED, multi-directional lighting dome combined with sophisticated preprocessing algorithms. This technology corrects specularities and reveals even the smallest defects on reflective surfaces, including cylindrical ones.
APPLICATIONS & PERFORMANCES
DEEP LIGHTING was recently deployed at a client’s site for the inspection of lacquered pens, aiming to detect small dents and lacquer imperfections. The results exceeded our expectations, opening new possibilities for its use in the cosmetics and aerospace industries, where quality control requirements are high.
DETECTION & PRECISION
Working with supervised learning with our DEEP CAPTURE software, the model uses an extensive database of thousands of defect photos. This comprehensiveness ensures unmatched precision. DEEP LABEL, our online labeling tool, enables remote collaboration for continuous dataset increment, ensuring ongoing improvement in detection performance.
WHY CHOOSE DEEP LIGHTING?
- Superior Accuracy: Detection of even the smallest defects, often invisible to the naked eye.
- Correction of Specularities: Clear images without light spots for precise inspection.
- Innovative Technology: Years of R&D for a cutting-edge solution.
- High Performance: High-performance CMOS sensor at 60 FPS to capture the finest details.
- Multi-Pen Efficiency: Rapid inspection of up to 5 pens simultaneously.
PROBLEM OF LIGHT REFLECTION IN INDUSTRIAL VISION: CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES & SOLUTIONS
Causes of Specularity
- Shiny Surfaces: Metal, smooth plastics, glass.
- Inadequate Lighting: Incorrect orientation or intensity.
- Camera Position: Placement relative to the light source and surface.
Consequences of Specularity.
- False Detection: Masking of defects, creation of light artifacts.
- Reduction in Precision: Decrease in image quality.
- Increased False Rejects: Incorrect identification of compliant products as defective.
Solutions to Manage Specularity
- Controlled Lighting with DEEP LIGHTING: Corrects and cleans up reflections by distributing light evenly.
- Polarizing Filters: Reduce specular reflections on light sources and cameras.
- Optimal Camera Positioning: Adjusting the angle to avoid direct reflections.
- Software Processing: Algorithms to detect and compensate for areas affected by specularity.
- Surface Treated: Anti-reflective treatments on glossy surfaces.
To effectively overcome specularity issues in industrial vision, it is essential to adopt innovative solutions such as Deep Lighting. This advanced lighting technology is specifically designed to reduce unwanted reflections and improve the quality of captured images, even in environments where lighting conditions are particularly challenging.
