    摘要: An image of a semiconductor interconnection pad is analyzed to determine a geometric description of the zone regions of a multiple zone semiconductor interconnection pad. Edge detection machine vision tools are used to extract features in the image. The extracted features are analyzed to derive geometric descriptions of the zone regions of the pad, that are applied in semiconductor device inspection, fabrication, and assembly operations.

    摘要: A vision system is provided to determine a positional relationship between a semiconductor wafer on a platen and an element on a processing machine, such as a printing screen, on a remote side of the semiconductor wafer from the platen. A source directs ultraviolet light through an aperture in the platen to illuminate the semiconductor wafer and cast a shadow onto the element adjacent an edge of the semiconductor wafer. A video camera produces an image using light received from the platen aperture, wherein some of that received light was reflected by the wafer. The edge of the semiconductor wafer in the image is well defined by a dark/light transition.

    摘要: An efficient and reliable method and apparatus is disclosed that finds a reference point of an object profile within an image when the object is of an unknown size. The object profile is modeled using a synthetic labeled-projection model, which in conjunction with the image, is projected over a portion of the image of the object profile to derive a histogram. The histogram is normalized and a maximum of a first derivative of the histogram is defined for that position. The position of the labeled-projection model is moved relative to the image, and the process is repeated until a selected portion of the image has been examined. The first derivative of the normalized labeled projection is greatest when a feature of the image and the feature denoted by a specific synthetic label of the labeled-projection model are aligned. The method and apparatus can locate the center of the object with reliability, because use of the labeled-projection model and the histogram minimizes the * effects of image artifacts. Further, the method decreases computational time, and thus, increases performance speed.

    摘要: A system and method for analyzing 3D captured image data of scanned surfaces to locate object of interest, such as solder balls. A 3D model is created of an object of interest, the 3D model including weighted “don't care” areas where a match is not required. The 3D models which are used include geometric shapes, including a frustum, and models created from actual 3D image data of real objects. The 3D captured image data is processed to locate objects matching the 3D models, including processing by normalized correlation. Once the objects are located, the system selects data points within the 3D captured image data that are a predetermined distance away from the located objects. These data points are analyzed to determine a surface plane which fits the selected data points, thereby locating the surface in the 3D capture image data.
