WORLD'S FIRST SOFTWARE TO AUTOMATE PRODUCTION-LINE IMAGE RECOGNITION
Fujitsu Laboratories has announced the development of a technology for automatically generating image-recognition programs that accurately detect the positions of components as captured by cameras in automated assembly processes by utilizing images of electronic components and IT equipment. Automatically generated image-processing programs that use machine learning have not been able to detect positions up until now, requiring that experts individually develop image-recognition programs. As a result, any changes to the manufacturing setup, such as a machine's operating parameters, could involve more than a week's time spent revising the program, during which time the production line would sit idle. What Fujitsu Laboratories has done is to develop a technique for automatically generating image-processing programs that detect positions by controlling the order in which the various image-processing functions that make up a program are combined, and using machine learning based !
on the
similarity of shapes. Samples of the object to be detected are presented as teaching materials, and this makes it possible to automatically generate an image-recognition program in roughly eight hours, or one-tenth the time previously required. Fujitsu Laboratories plans to use this technology to help make production lines better able to respond to changes in their operating environment without long downtime.
