Abstract

As a popular technology in the field of artificial intelligence, computer vision is gradually adapting to the needs of convenience for human beings, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. Therefore, this study proposes a computer vision algorithm to locate and identify the location of defects. For the traditional edge detection algorithm Sobel, LoG, Canny, the decisive factor for the detection effect of paint defect image is the adjustment of parameters, which can’t achieve an adaptive edge detection algorithm for paint defects, so it is thought that the evolution idea of ant colony algorithm can be used to achieve accurate detection of defects. This paper proposes an automatic detection method for vehicle body paint film defects based on computer vision. An ant colony optimization edge detection algorithm based on automotive paint features (APF-ACO) is proposed. By combining global update and local update, the convergence speed of ant colony algorithm is improved and a new pheromone calculation and update method is proposed to effectively preserve the edge details of the detected image. A reflection area detection algorithm based on HSV color space is designed to detect the reflective area and eliminate interference. Establish defect classification identification rules, identify and mark five types of defects, and determine defect categories. Experiments show that the method can effectively detect the defect area and the recognition accuracy is 97.76%.
