Li Deng, Gang Liu, Yilian Zhang
Abstract
Machine vision is a technology that uses image processing and analysis techniques to acquire and understand image information, enabling the recognition, measurement, and detection of objects. Machine vision is widely used in aerospace manufacturing for automated production, quality inspection, and robot guidance. It can improve the efficiency and quality of aerospace manufacturing, reduce labor costs and risks, promote innovation and optimization, adapt to various inspection needs, and realize intelligent, automated, and digital manufacturing processes. This paper introduces the types of vision technologies, overviews the typical applications of machine vision for quality inspection in aerospace manufacturing, (including component surface inspection, drilling quality inspection, assembly quality inspection, and gluing quality inspection), analyzes the advantages, challenges, and development trends of machine vision for quality inspection in aerospace manufacturing, and looks forward to future research directions to support further research and application.
