Abstract:

For the problems of low efficiency and high leakage rate in manual quality inspection of information printing on chemical packaging bags, a machine vision-based quality inspection method for printing codes on chemical packaging bags is designed in this study. Mean filtering and Gaussian bilateral filtering algorithms are used to pre-process the captured image, and then the character area is localized through a variable threshold algorithm based on local statistics. To solve the problem that the distance between the dots of the printout characters may be larger than the gap size between the characters, which leads to the formation of a connected domain with multiple characters sticking together after the binary image closure operation, the study proposes a dynamic character segmentation algorithm to improve the connected domain. The segmented character images are trained and recognized by Tesseract_OCR engine for classification. The experimental results show that the algorithm has the accuracy rate of 95.62% for coding quality detection, which can meet the requirements of chemical packaging bag coding quality inspection.
