A THREE DIMENSIONAL (3D) VISION BASED DEFECT INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR GLUING APPLICATION
A Robot Vision System (RVS) is an adaptive and dynamic system that caters to a wide range of jobs where each involves a set of operations required to be done at a predetermined workstation. This research is focused on the development of a vision system to be integrated with KUKA arm robot. Pyramid object is used as a complimentary of the windscreen car as a model. It developed using plain cardboard with dimension of 15cm x 15cm. 2D matching application introduced to identify the characteristic of the object used in the system using CCD camera. Object used must be trained in training phase to create object template and used again in recognition phase for object classification. Then, two CCD cameras are used; placed at the top and front of the object to extract object’s edge location using Harris Point. Data extracted from it are used to find 3D coordination of each edge. Equation of straight line mostly used in this method to identify x, y and z coordinates. Data obtained from the system then used to give instruction to KUKA arm robot for gluing purposes. Pixel coordinates must be converted to robot coordinates for easier understanding by the robot. Three types of defect are trained as model templates and save to the memory known as bumper, gap and bubble defect. Each defect has special characteristic. Inspection system developed to identify problems occurs in gluing process. Template matching method used to call model trained in training phase to identify the uncertainties. Each defect occurs comes with its coordinate’s information for correction. Correction of defect consists of two phase; 1st CoD where correction is completed in first time and 2nd CoD where correction still need to be completed after the first correction. Data for all the process are recorded to prove that this algorithm made improvement with the previous research

Shape-Based Matching: Application of Edge Detection using Harris Point
This paper presents a sequence of object recognition algorithm using shape-based matching that mainly focused on image recognition, image segmentation, and flexible Region of Interest. The image of pyramid is used as a medium to locate each corner of the object and specified the location in details. First, the image reference is used as a training image and the template is created. Then, the process image will be compared with the reference image by using template matching to calculate the score of the successful matching. Each correspond image will be rotated around 60 degree to see whether the system able to recognize the object. All score for matching are recorded. After that, Harris point generates the specific corner of the pyramid and the location of each point is located and clarified with number starting from one. Distance between one point to another is calculated using mathematics’ equation to generate a new point between those points. The location of all generate points are displayed using Graphical User Interface (GUI). This method is proposed to develop an additional new system of the glue process in automation industry that provides input data from vision sensor to reduce possibilities of failure
Design and Construction of Liquid Level Measurement System
Industrial tank system play important role in industrial application such as in food
processing, pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, water purification system and many more.
Today we can see a lot of varieties in different level measurement technologies on the market like

Monitoring Grid Frequency
The grid frequency of a 50 Hz system varies from 49.8 Hz to 50.2 Hz. Every 0.01 Hz of change in grid frequency
correspond to approximately 6% to 8% of power supply dropped in the grid (S. Pourmousavi et al. 2009). Hence high
resolution of measurement device is a must to monitor the grid frequency. Most frequency measurement devices such as
oscilloscope usually caters high frequency measurement range. Even though some oscilloscope able to measure low
frequency signal, its accuracy and resolution is not up to the challenge of measuring grid frequency. Phasor Measurement
Unit (PMU) uses by most power system company is not economical to be used by small scale power generation company
or for research purpose. In this paper, a simple zero crossing method will be employ to measure the grid frequency with a
resolution of 0.003 Hz using Arduino Uno controller. The test and validation of the frequency data took place in Europe
specifically at University of Applied Science Rosenheim
