Abstract

This paper describes a fluorescent lamp inspection system designed for a major North American manufacturer. Operating 24 hours a day it inspects up to 16 lamp bases per hour for nine common manufacturing defects using parallel processing hardware and morphology algorithms. Hardware and software techniques used to build a robust and reliable system relatively insensitive to variations in lighting conditions and lamp appearance are described.
