Automated Feature Selection Methodology for Reconfigurable Automated Visual Inspection Systems

The lack of flexibility of the current automated visual inspection (AVI) systems to accommodate new products is one of the main problems faced by the users of these systems. In this paper, the authors propose a framework that will facilitate the design of highly reconfigurable AVI systems. We focus on two issues: the general description of a framework for the development of reconfigurable systems and the description of a method for feature selection that will make the automation of this process easier.
