A - An Automated Visual Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Inspection Is An Approach

An automated visual printed circuit board inspection system is developed to detect defects on bare PCBs before etching to avoid costly defects. The system uses template images and image registration, thresholding, and filtering techniques to solve alignment and illumination issues when inspecting test PCB images for six types of defects such as missing holes, pin holes, and short-circuits. This provides a fast, quantitative, and dimensional assessment to replace subjective human inspection.

ABSTRACT.

An automated visual printed circuit board (PCB) inspection is an approach


used to counter difficulties occurred in humans manual inspection that can eliminates
subjective aspects and then provides fast, quantitative, and dimensional assessments. In
this study, referential approach has been implemented on template and defective PCB
images to detectnumerous defects on bare PCBs before etching process, since etching
usually contributes most destructive defects found on PCBs. The PCB inspection system
is then improved by incorporating a geometrical image registration, minimum
thresholding technique and median filtering in order to solve alignment and uneven
illumination problem. Finally, defect classification operation is employed in order to
identify the source for six types of defects namely, missing hole, pin hole, underetch,
short-circuit, mousebite, and open-circuit
