Abstract

Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) is an important part of modern electronics manufacturing. While profilometric technologies are very present in inspection systems specialized on surface mounted technologies (SMT), through hole technology (THT) oriented inspection still mostly relies on two-dimensional data. Solder joints of THT connections have highly reflective metallic surfaces and thus are a very challenging object for typical light based profilometric measurement systems. A new approach is presented, which uses specular reflections of angled illuminations to reconstruct the surface of THT solder joints for inline inspection. The observed reflections depend on the position of the angled light sources, as well as the surface angle of the inspected object and its relative position to the observing camera. The reflections of each angled illumination are observed separately and processed as a stack of images. To reduce the complexity the image stack is transformed into a polar coordinate system leveraging the rotation symmetry of THT solder connections. The surface angle of every observed pixel is estimated based on the observation stack and corrected for its position relative to the camera and illumination. The surface angle then gets integrated along the transformed coordinate axis. This results in the estimation of the surface profile of the solder connection. After retransformation into the source coordinate system, this can be used to classify the solder joint for defects and insufficient solder volume.
