The definition of dynamic envelope curve is the maximum limit outline caused by various adverse effects during the running process of the train. It is an important base of making railway boundaries. At present, the measurement work of dynamic envelope curve of high-speed vehicle is mainly achieved by the way of binocular vision. There are some problems of the present measuring system like poor portability, complicated process and high cost. A new measurement system based on the monocular vision measurement theory and the analysis on the test environment is designed and the measurement system parameters, the calibration of camera with wide field of view, the calibration of the laser plane are designed and optimized in this paper. The accuracy has been verified to be up to 2mm by repeated tests and experimental data analysis. The feasibility and the adaptability of the measurement system is validated. There are some advantages of the system like lower cost, a simpler measurement and data processing process, more reliable data. And the system needs no matching algorithm.
Registration of multiple sensors is a basic step in multi-sensor dimensional or coordinate measuring systems before any measurement. In most cases, a common standard is used to be measured by all sensors, and this may work well for general registration of multiple homogeneous sensors. However, when inhomogeneous sensors detect a common standard, it is usually very difficult to obtain the same information, because of the different working principles of the sensors. In this paper, a new method called multiple steps registration is proposed to register two sensors: a video camera sensor (VCS) and a tactile probe sensor (TPS). In this method, the two sensors measure two separated standards: a chrome circle on a reticle and a reference sphere with a constant distance between them, fixed on a steel plate. The VCS captures only the circle and the TPS touches only the sphere. Both simulations and real experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is robust and accurate in the registration of multiple inhomogeneous sensors in a dimensional measurement system.
This paper studies a method of detecting the position of crankshaft flange hole group based on vision measurement, and sets up the position detection system of crankshaft flange hole group. The relative measurement model of hole group position is established by using the standard crankshaft information, and the system calibration method is studied. In this paper, a multi-camera calibration method based on polynomial fitting two-dimensional image mapping model is adopted. In addition, the image processing technology of hole group is studied. The improved Canny edge detection method is used to extract the contour of the hole group. Redundant edge filtering algorithm is used to eliminate unreliable edges. Then use the gradient interpolation method to extract sub-pixel edges. The measurement results show that the single-direction measurement error of the central coordinate of the crankshaft flange hole group is less than 0.07mm, and the repeatability error is less than 0.009mm, which provides a basis for the realization of industrial online efficient detection.
The paper proposes a new vision-based inspection of car circlips. Due to the variety of circlips and large quantity, human inspection about its inside diameter, ring width is always subjective, labor-intensive and slow. The detector consists three parts: electromagnetic feeder, vision-based detection system and multi-station workbench. The feeder is customized to accomplish storage, screening, sorting and transmission of circlips. Vision system is made up of bilateral telecentric lens, tablet light and industrial camera. By means of image processing, it can detect dozens of circlips which it maximum outside diameter is less than 25.00mm. And the precision of inside diameter can reach up to 0.02mm. A multi-station workbench method is put forward in order to improve detecting efficiency combined with parallel software. The system can sort 60-80 pieces per minute.
