影像處理的技術,在早期僅限於單純影像的輸入、儲存、輸出,以及對外通訊等基本的功能與配備。影像數位化之後,近年來,由於電腦軟硬體的進步,使得影像的儲存、傳送,影像的識別、壓縮技術,多媒體通訊、網路以及各種應用領域快速的蓬勃發展。如今,影像處理的技術,除了影像處理的品質、速度、效率大大的提升之外,廣泛應用於各個學門及日常生活中,尤其是工商業生產、機器人等所應用的機器視覺系統,更是俯拾即是。 本論文主要是探討影像處理與機器視覺的發展及其應用,而著重於機器視覺運用於彎管機自動化上的研究,期能提高彎管機的自動化與彎管品質,降低彎管機的製造成本,提升我國彎管機產業的競爭力。
In the early stage, the techniques of image processing were only confined its operation in simple image input, image saving, image output and external communication that fundamental function and its equipments. After the image digitalization, in recent years, because of computer improvement of software and hardware, to make image saving, image transmission , image recognition, image compression techniques, communication of multi-media, network and various using fields are vigorously prompt development. Nowadays, the techniques of image processing have extensively utilized for various subjects and daily life, besides greatly elevate the quality, speed, efficiency of image processing. Particularly, image processing were used on a mass of machine vision system for industry, commerce and Robot. The main points of this thesis are for studying the development and using of machine vision; Additionally, to emphasize the studying of automation for using machine vision to pipe bender, so then to raise automation of pipe bender and quality of pipe bending, to lower the manufacturing cost of pipe bender, to elevate further the competition of Taiwan pipe bender industry.
