Much effort has been devoted to development of methods to reduce hyperspectral image dimensionality by locating and retaining data relevant for image interpretation while discarding that which is irrelevant. Irrelevance can result from an absence of information that could contribute to the classification, or from the presence of information that could contribute to the classification but is redundant with other information already selected for inclusion in the classification process.

We describe a new supervised method that uses mutual information to incrementally determine the most relevant combination of available bands and/or derived pseudo bands to differentiate a specified set of classes. We refer to this as relevance spectroscopy. The method identifies a specific optimum band combination and provides estimates of classification accuracy for data interpretation using a complementary, also information theoretic, classification procedure.

When modest numbers of classes are involved the number of relevant bands to achieve good classification accuracy is typically three or fewer. Time required to determine the optimum band combination is of the order of a minute on a personal computer. Automated interpretation of intermediate images derived from the optimum band set can often keep pace with data acquisition speeds.

Train-by-show in color-based assembly and packaging inspection

Robert McConnell

Proceedings Volume 3205, (1997) https://doi.org/10.1117/12.285579

KEYWORDS: Inspection, Packaging, Manufacturing

Read Abstract +

In the modern era of flexible manufacturing, short production runs and strict quality requirements, flexible easily trained inspection systems are essential. It is no longer unusual to have lines in which the product changes several times a shift. In such circumstances inspection system setup and retraining times of the order of a couple of minutes or less may be required. There is a large class of assembly and packaging processes which require verification that the correct components are present in the corrected locations. In many of these applications the relative proportion of different colors in a particular region can be used as the basis of inspection. Since the color distributions are generally complex and defy simple descriptions, train by showing is the only practical solution. The 'minimum description' paradigm, which uses a full 3-dimensional color space without the information loss inherent in color coordinate transformations or separation, provides a key to easy robust automation of this type of inspection.
