Conventionally, ITV cameras, image sensors, etc. have been used to recognize shape defects in three-dimensional objects, but in the case of defects in three-dimensional objects, especially small three-dimensional objects, it is difficult to recognize defects in one shape due to lighting methods and detection angles. In order to recognize defects, methods such as capturing many screens from different viewing angles using ITV cameras, etc., are used.
In this case, it is necessary to process each screen, which has the drawback of requiring a lot of processing time and increasing costs accordingly.

FIG. 1 shows an apparatus for inspecting the shape of a three-dimensional object according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a mirror such as a triangular prism that reflects light. This mirror 1 has a rotating shaft and a lower part of a rotating device 2 such as a motor. They are connected and configured to rotate in a substantially horizontal direction as shown by the arrow. Reference numeral 3 denotes a hollow cylindrical mirror, and the inner peripheral surface of this mirror 3 has the inclined reflective surface 1a of the mirror 1.
The light emitted from the light source 4 is incident as shown by the arrow, and the incident light is directed diagonally upward to the three-dimensional object 6 placed on the flat support 5, as also shown by the arrow. It is configured so that it is reflected. Thus, the mirror 1, the rotating device 2, the mirror 3, etc. can irradiate light all around the three-dimensional object 6. 7 is arranged approximately at the center of the cylindrical mirror 3 and located above the three-dimensional object 6.
The ITV camera is used to photograph the instantaneous shadow of a three-dimensional image that occurs when a three-dimensional object 6 is irradiated with light. 8 is a video signal processing unit to which a video signal from the ITV camera 7 is applied and processes it, and its output is applied to the subsequent binarization circuit 9 so that the video signal is converted into a binary signal. It's summery. Reference numeral 10 denotes a first image memory for storing binary signals; 11 monitors each signal from the video signal processing unit 8, the binary conversion circuit 9, the first image memory 10, etc., and performs recognition, processing, etc. 12 is an arithmetic processing section that performs AND or OR processing on data signals from the first image memory 10 and second image memory 13; 14 is an arithmetic processing section to which signals from the arithmetic processing section 12 are added; , and a control section that controls the rotation of a rotating device such as the motor 2 according to the processing state.

First, when the three-dimensional object 6 is a cylinder as shown in FIG. Then, if the three-dimensional object 6 is a cylinder with a normal shape, for example, when viewed from above, a circular shadow locus is created as shown in FIG. 3A. Also, if the three-dimensional object is a prism, the third
A shadow trajectory as shown in Figure B is created. That is,
When a three-dimensional object such as a cylinder is irradiated with light, different shadows are obtained depending on the angle at which the light is projected onto the cylinder, as shown in FIG. 2B. That is, when the light is as shown by the arrow l1 , a corresponding shadow as shown by S1 is generated.
In addition, in the case of the light of arrow l 2 , a shadow like S 2 is created by the arrow
In the case of light of l o , a shadow like that of so appears.

However, if a part of the upper part of the three-dimensional object is damaged and there is a shape defect such as a chip in the external shape, that is, a part of the cylinder has a chip 6' as shown in Fig. 4A.
If there is, the trajectory of the shadow will not be in the state shown in FIG. 3A, but will be distorted as shown in the lower part of FIG. 4A. Also, the fourth
As shown in Figure 3B, if the length L of the cylinder is short, the trajectory of the shadow will be smaller than in Figure 3B. Furthermore, if the three-dimensional object is a prism and there is a chip 6' in a part of it as shown in Fig. 4C, the shadow locus will not be in the state shown in Fig. 3B, but as shown in Fig. 4C. As shown below, the distortion is on the side where the chip 6' is present.

One way to obtain such a shadow trajectory is to rotate a light source while shining it on a three-dimensional object.
The output of the ITV camera 7 and the like is taken into a video signal processing section 8, and is binarized by a binarization circuit 9 and stored in a first image memory 10 and a second image memory 13. Then, at the timing of the next capture signal, the data stored in the first image memory 10 and the data in the second image memory 13 are subjected to arithmetic processing via the arithmetic processing section 12.

In this case, as shown in Figure 5A, if the shadow part is set to 1 and the bright part to O\, the OR process is performed, and conversely, as shown in Figure 5B, the shadow part is set to O\ and the bright part to 1. If this is the case, you just need to configure a circuit that performs AND processing. The calculation result is stored in the second image memory 13.
data stored in the first image memory 10, driven by the illumination rotation control unit 14 to change the illumination angle, and
The data in the second image memory 13 is calculated, and the result is stored in the second image memory 13. Repeat this any number of times. The calculation results are shown in Figure 3 A, B or Figure 4 I, depending on the shape of the three-dimensional object 6.
This results in the formation of a shadow trajectory as shown in (c).

If the three-dimensional object is normal, the shadow will be a beautiful circle, ellipse, or track shape depending on the shape of the three-dimensional object, but if the three-dimensional object has a defect, it will cast a shadow as shown in Figure 4 A to C. becomes distorted. Therefore, by extracting the features of this distorted shape, shape defects can be easily detected by means such as visual measurement or pattern recognition.

As described above, according to the present invention, in an apparatus for inspecting shape defects of a three-dimensional object placed on a flat surface, the three-dimensional object is rotated so that light irradiated from diagonally above can be applied to the entire circumference of the three-dimensional object. It is equipped with a device and an arithmetic processing unit that extracts the shadow part of the three-dimensional object caused by the irradiation light as a binary image and performs OR or AND processing on the movement of the shadow due to the rotation of the illumination direction. Since the configuration is configured to inspect shape defects in three-dimensional objects by pattern inspection, the overall processing circuit configuration is simple. Further, there are advantages such as the ability to easily and quickly recognize shape defects through one-time pattern recognition.
