AI Vision Enters Cable Production Line, OpenMV Achieves Millisecond-Level Intersection Detection

In precision industrial inspection scenarios, the detection of crossover points in cable braiding layers or conductive mesh sleeves is a critical aspect of quality control. Traditional manual inspection methods are inefficient and prone to high error rates, making it difficult to meet the real-time precision requirements of high-speed production lines. To address this pain point, industrial manufacturing enterprises have adopted SingTown

The SingTown OpenMV intelligent camera recognition technology utilises machine vision and AI image recognition algorithms to accurately identify the spatial coordinates of the intersection point of two 0.5mm thick cables, automatically excluding the central area and extracting only the data from the upper and lower intersection points. This solution can be installed at production line inspection stations to monitor the integrity of the cable braiding structure in real-time, providing a reliable basis for subsequent automatic positioning, error correction, and appearance inspection.

Industrial manufacturing enterprises have established a cable braiding inspection system based on SingTown Technology's OpenMV intelligent camera, achieving cable intersection detection.

The system installs high-resolution cameras fixed above the production line inspection area to capture real-time surface texture images of cables through high-resolution lenses.

The captured images are automatically identified by the built-in system using AI machine vision algorithms: by combining edge detection and geometric fitting techniques, the system can accurately recognise the intersection area of two 0.5mm thick lines on the cable surface.

By utilising the morphological operations and coordinate extraction functions of the OpenMV module, the system can swiftly determine the positions of intersections, retaining only the effective upper and lower intersection points, and outputting their precise coordinate data to the control system in real time.

In dynamic production environments, this system demonstrates high stability and anti-interference capability, achieving millisecond-level response under close installation conditions.

The identified cross-coordinate data can be utilised in processes such as automatic adjustment of cable winding angles, correction of positional deviations, and defect detection, significantly enhancing inspection efficiency and product consistency.

SingTown Technology's OpenMV Smart Camera, with its compact design and powerful computer vision algorithms, possesses robust edge deployment capabilities. It provides a flexible, high-precision, and low-cost intelligent solution for industrial automation inspection.
