ABSTRACT
Metric raster is an important and useful optical instrument, and has been widely
used in various fields. We must access it’s quality before we use a raster. As products,
raster has passed the quality inspection before leaving factory, but the inspection is done
using the microscope to check if the stripe of the raster is regular, if there exists obvious
protrusion or concave. In general, the enlargement factor of the microscope is 40, if the
multiple is too small, the remoteness details can’t be observed. If the multiple is too
large, the visual field will be too small, making it difficult to observe each part of the
raster. Hence, this inspection method is difficult to implement. Further more, different
people may get different results because the results can only be observed by means of
human eyes using this inspection method. It’s easy to see that this inspection method
does have some disadvantages from both subjective or objective points of view.
Based on the facts mentioned above, it’s necessary to find a new way to inspect the
quality of raster. Using the technology about digital image processing, we will improve
the traditional method to analyze the quality of transmission image of raster and
appraise the quality of raster in the end.
This paper has at least two advantages as follows:
Using the method brought forward in this paper, the image enlarged with the
microscope is inputted to computer using a sensor and will be analyzed by
computer instead of human eyes during the course of inspection. This method
not only can eliminate the limitation of multiple of enlargement, but also can
avoid the subjective impacts of human eyes.
The inspection system is simple, practical, and easy to implement, because the
quality of raster can be appraised simply by collecting the transmission image
of the raster for analysis using computer.
What the author has mainly done in this paper is:
The filtering of image and the selection of approach
Because the image is likely to be displaced and rotated in the course of collection,
and the image is tend to include noise or become fuzzy because of some other factors.
Hence, it must be filtered before we analyze the transmission image of raster.
This paper has introduced a new method called Wavelet transform to handle the
image filtering. This technology about digital signal filtering has developed rapidly in
the past several decades and has played an important role in many important
applications in various fields. Depending on the characteristic that the signal and noise
has different wavelet coefficient in different scale, Wavelet transform successfully
separate noise from signal. Using Matlab, a very famous software in engineering
calculation, We simulated the result, and analyzed the result we have got, the result
indicated that the filtering approach is relatively effective.
Determine the directional angel of the stripe in the image
The transmission image of raster is a typical texture image, and the strip in the
image is quite formal. In this paper, the direction of the stripe is an important parameter
for the analysis of transmission image, so the determination of the directional angel of
