Terminal sequence consistency verification method for small diameter abreast optical fibers based on computer vision.

ABSTRACT

In a kind of precision industrial equipment, small diameter abreast optical fibers are used for high-speed communication among functional nodes. The arrangement order at both terminals of the abreast optical fibers need to comply with communication protocols. In this paper, we propose an automatic terminal sequence consistency verification method based on computer vision. The Hue Saturation Value (HSV) color space is used for improving the image feature extraction capability. An abreast optical fiber sequence dictionary which converts the protocol logic into an input-output mapping table is provided to follow protocol confidentiality and improve inspecting speed. A light control baffle position adaptive algorithm is designed for improving the accuracy of optical fiber incident light control. The experimental results show that the method can achieve the conductivity inspection of 1 optical fiber every 50 seconds, and the inspection accuracy is over 96.5%, which generally improves the inspection efficiency by 45% compared with manual inspection.
