Abstract

The location accuracy of the workpiece is the key problem in the glue dispensing operation of the automobile engine cover. A vision location system is designed for the glue dispensing robot to locate the position of the feature points in the engine cover. The system correct the original teaching trajectory in real time to maintain the accuracy of the gluing operation. The system is based on a digital signal processor (DSP) dedicated to image processing for its real-time performance. Image preprocessing operations including gray value linear transformation and median filtering are applied to modify the image quality for the subsequent feature-point detection procedure. Experiments are conducted and the result shows that the system is feasible after the calibration of the camera.
