Control of industrial inspection modules using Kinect somatosensory technology

In recent years, the light, thin, short, small and multi-function demand of consumer electronic products has driven SMT manufactures to make their IC package component sizes continue to shrink. For improving production yields of the tiny package components, many manufacturers have produced and tested the tiny IC package components in a clean room. This study aims the tiny chip size package (CSP) components to develop a Kinect-based inspection system. The proposed system applied Kinect sensor to perform human skeleton detection. With our developed software, the operator outside the clean room can use his hand to directly control the important inspection modules such as lighting module and translation module, which are located in the clean room, through the glass window by applying somatosensory technology.
