Abstract

Dimensional metrology is an integral part of quality controlin manufacturing systems. Most existing manufacturing systemsutilize contact-based metrology, which is time consuming andnot flexible to design changes. There have been recent applications of computer vision for performing dimensional metrologyin manufacturing systems. Existing computer vision metrologytechniques need repeated calibration of the system and are notutilized with data analysis methods to improve decision making. In this work, we propose a robust non-contact computervision metrology pipeline integrated with Computer Aided Design (CAD) that has the capacity to enable control of smart manufacturing systems. The pipeline uses CAD data to extract nominal dimensions and tolerances. The dimensions are comparedto the measured ones, computed using camera images and computer vision algorithms. A quality check module evaluates if themeasurements are within admissible bounds and informs a central controller. If a part does not meet a tolerance, the centralcontroller changes a program running on a specific machine toensure that parts meet the necessary specifications. Results froman implementation of the proposed pipeline on a manufacturingresearch testbed are given at the end.
