The Automatic Detection Technology for the Surface Defects of Automobile Engine Cylinder

Article Preview

Abstract:

In view of the casting defects of the automobile engine cylinder, the automatic detection technology for the surface defects of cylinder was investigated in this study. Moreover, a system was designed to automatically detect the surface defects of engine cylinder bore basing on machine vision technology. The pixels of the bottom circle and top circle of cylinder bore were effectively extracted using a Hough transform-based fast detection circle algorithm; Aiming to solve the inconvenience in observation and measurement as well as the obvious geometric distortion presented in annular image, an algorithm, in which annulus was extended into rectangular, was put forward. Experiment results proved that this algorithm was fast and efficient and showed lower mean error in calculating annular defect area.
