A system, method, and apparatus for inspecting a label for proper application thereof. The system includes a label application apparatus and an inspection apparatus associated with said label application apparatus. The method includes inspecting a spent carrier web for the presence of labels, or portions thereof, that did not transfer to articles being labeled.

Systems and methods for determining cross-section profiles of underground fluid conveyance structures involves a memory configured to store a profile scan dataset of at least one pipe and at least one pipe template. A processor is configured to compare the profile scan dataset to one or more templates. Profile deviations in a pipe profile are determined using the comparison. A location and an areal measurement of the profile deviations is determined. A user interface is configured to present the profile deviations to a user.

An apparatus according to the present disclosure acquires a display condition for displaying at least a part of target data as a display image on a display device, determines, in a case where the display image is changed, whether to store the display condition according to a changed display image in a storage device, based on an index relating to the change of the display image, and stores, in a case where the display condition is determined to be stored, the display condition according to the changed display image in the storage device.

A computer vision-based fastener loosening detection approach is described. A first image is captured at a first time and a second image is captured at a second time. A feature-based image registration is performed to create a third image. An intensity-based image registration is performed to create a fourth image. Registration errors are determined based on a comparison of the first and fourth images. A feature enhancement process is performed on the registration errors to determine whether the fastener has loosened between the first time and the second time.

A visual control system for an extended product being a wire, a tube, a plate, a strip or a series of juxtaposed elements type contains a first measurement zone with an inspection unit for automatically inspecting a portion of the product advancing along a longitudinal path. The inspection unit delivering at least one map having qualitative information of an inspected portion of the product. A second control zone is disposed downstream of the first measurement zone and has a device for overprinting at least the qualitative information on the portion of the product. The second control zone being intended for displaying the portion as it arrives in the second control zone.

The present disclosure relates to a surface inspection method using a mold surface inspection device, and more specifically, to a surface inspection method using a mold surface inspection device including a setting part in which an inspection object is set, a light source part configured to irradiate the inspection object with irradiated light so that a reflective highlight is generated on a surface of the inspection object, an imaging part configured to image the surface of the inspection object so that a highlight region where a reflective highlight is generated is included, and an image processing part configured to process an image imaged in the imaging part to provide the image to a worker so that the worker determines whether defects are generated on the surface of the inspection object on the basis of the image.

There is presented a system and method for detecting mobile device fault conditions, including detecting fault conditions by software operating on the mobile device. In one embodiment, the present invention provides for systems and methods for using a neural network to detect, from an image of the device, that the mobile device has a defect, for instance a cracked or scratched screen. Systems and methods also provide for, reporting the defect status of the device, working or not, so that appropriate action may be taken by a third party.

A method for displaying an image of a surface of a tire includes: taking an image of a surface of a tire formed with a mark having a protrusion and a recess; acquiring waveform data from the taken image of the surface; creating a histogram from the waveform data; determining, based on the histogram, a first bin threshold to distinguish a surface luminance of the protrusion of the mark, and a second bin threshold to distinguish a surface luminance of the recess of the mark; and displaying the image of the surface of the tire including the mark on a screen by representing a region equal to or higher than the first bin threshold, a region lower than the first bin threshold and higher than the second bin threshold, and a region equal to or lower than the second bin threshold in the histogram in three attributes of color.

Current inspection processes employed for pipeline networks data acquisition aided with manually locating and recording defects/observations, thus leading labor intensive, prone to error and a time-consuming task thereby resulting in process inefficiencies. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for that leverage artificial intelligence/machine learning models and image processing techniques to automate log and data processing, reports and insights generation thereby reduce dependency on manual analysis, improve annual productivity of survey meterage and bring in process and cost efficiencies into overall asset health management for utilities, thereby enhancing accuracy in defect identification, analysis, classification thereof.

A handheld device for making 3D topography measurements of surface discontinuities in high performance structures, such as aerostructures (e.g., aluminum fuselages). Lights illuminate the discontinuity from multiple angles, and a camera captures images of the discontinuity. A thickness sensor generates thickness data regarding a thickness of the base material and the top protective coating. A position sensor generates position data regarding a location of the discontinuity on the structure. A processor generates geometry data regarding a geometry of the discontinuity based on the images, performs an analysis of the geometry, thickness, and position data, and communicates a result of the analysis on a display. A conforming membrane and/or a gel and an opaque lubricant may be applied over and conform to the discontinuity in order to make more uniform a reflectivity difference and a color difference between the discontinuity and an adjacent portion of the structure.
