In the cellular phone OEM/ODM industry, reducing test time and cost are crucial due to fierce competition, short product life cycle, and a low margin environment. Among the inspection processes, the radio frequency (RF) function test process requires more operation time than any other. Hence, manufacturers need an effective method to reduce the RF test items so that the inspection time can be r...

Software testing incurs a considerable expense when developing software systems. Software testing requires voluminous test data to demonstrate that “few” errors exist. If the process of software testing could be carried out automatically, then the testing efficiency would increase and the cost of software development would be significantly reduced. This paper describes an automated approach to ...

Mass production of industrial workpieces requires continuous manufacturing control to ensure constant quality. That is why assembly inspection is used to detect errors at an early stage. Many conventional inspection methods are still in use especially in the automotive and supplier industry. Traditional inspection with gauges is rather subjective and time-consuming. Moreover, such inspection on...

1 Introduction Inspections, a proven quality improvement approach [3, 7], are a process where a team of skilled individuals review a software artifact (e.g., requirements specification document) to identify faults. Traditional fault-based software inspections (like Fault Checklist inspection) focus inspectors' attention on different type of faults (e.g., incorrect or incomplete or ambiguous req...

BACKGROUND Results from hemolyzed, icteric, and lipemic samples may be inaccurate and can lead to medical errors. These preanalytical interferences may be detected using visual or automated assessment. Visual inspection is time consuming, highly subjective and not standardized. Our aim was to assess the comparability of automated spectrophotometric detection and visual inspection of lipemic, ic...

The present study focused on doing a survey about the current state of the art of applying the RBI (Risk Based Inspection) methodology on pressure safety valves (PSVs) in the process industry, as well as, analyzing the reliability of applying the Weibull distribution according to standard API RP 581 and determining an optimum inspection interval of PSVs. From the maintenance reports data of two...

We propose an airborne inspection system which operates with a single camera. It provides live high-resolution detail images at low framerates for inspection, interleaved in time with several coarse-resolution overview images suitable for visual servoing. By defining the object of interest in 3D, the same pose estimation routine can be used for visual servoing and object tracking, which saves c...
