Computer vision based quality control of materials using Python[ ]


Quality control is an important process in all manufacturing industries. Normally, it includes checking the final product on sample basis and conforming whether the whole lot is suitable for dispatch or not. However, it is not a foolproof method to ensure quality as the whole lot is judged based on the basis of a few samples. There is a possibility that the samples selected conform to quality standards but many others in the lot don’t. Quality judgment depends on the expertise of the person checking the samples. The camera based system takes pictures of the product, which are analyzed after image extraction through image processing and checked against quality standards. In case of blister packing, manufactures need to check whether all the blisters have been filled with unbroken tablets.

High speed data search Content Addressable Memory using parity check bit[ ]


In all digital systems, memory acts as brain of the system. Any data such as files, audio, video and images are stored in memory in the form of binary digits such as ‘0’s and ‘1’s. Most memory devices store and retrieve data by addressing specific memory locations. Many methods are implemented to search data from memory. A memory that searches data using parallel method called content-addressable memory or CAM. Content addressable memory (CAM) is a type of solid-state memory that access the input data and performs parallel search operations and gives the address of the data. It starts a compare operation by loading search data into the search data register. This search data is then broadcast into the memory banks through pairs of complementary search-lines (SL and SLbar). The parallel comparison done with every bit of the stored words using comparison circuits. Each stored word has a matched line(ML) that convey the comparison result. Address of the matched word obtained at encoder output.
