ASRIS – Automatic Surface Reconstruction and Inspection System
Overview
The surface reconstruction technology developed by FLAIR for defect inspection is able to predict the optimal camera poses and setting to capture good images specific to different defect types for adaptively reconstructing unknown objects.
Commercialisation opportunities
Technology licensing agreement
Problem addressed
There is a need to conduct product quality analysis process of high-mix-low-volume products. Usually, this kind of products tends to be expensive, and its quality has critical requirement from the customers. Thus, quality assurance is essential to ensure that the products delivered are in high standard and developing a robust and low-budget solution to find suitable poses and camera setting to capture good images for defect inspection is a first and crucial step of the process.
Innovation
- Next best view algorithm to search optimal camera poses based on object, defect types and camera parameters to facilitate the inspection process
- New solution and network architecture using implicit neural representation for next best view optimized for 3D object anomaly detection
Key impact
- The System can automatically find optimal camera pose specific to different defect types for adaptively reconstructing unknown objects with different and profile, which is typical in high-mix low-volume manufacturing
