Abstract

Fault detection is an important step in gear production, but the traditional methods are inefficient. In this paper, a novel method for gear parameter measurement is proposed based on computer vision. First, we introduce the hardware composition of a system and the main structure of the software algorithm. Next, we discuss the principles of digital image pre-processing, image segmentation, and image analysis and also analyse the detailed steps, including gear centre positioning, gear tooth root radius calculation, and the addendum circle radius calculation. Finally, we show how the other parameters of the gear can be calculated using formulas, and how possible faults can be detected accordingly. This method is simple and requires neither edge detection nor Hough transformation. Experiments show that the system is stable and fast and that it can meet the needs of gear parameter measurement, replacing manual detection in actual production.
