for the series production of electrocardiogram electrodes an image processing system has been developed, which examines and segregates the electrodes depending on their quality-status.

in order to recognize the demanded quality criteria - some characteristics are production recognizable only up to a certain state of process - a camera constellation, consisting of three color cmos- cameras, worked out fine.

exact central statistics with station-referred error evaluation makes conclusions possible on insufficient use of resources

all image processing systems are connected by a TCP/IP-network which means, that all relevant production and system data can be comfortably visualized or adapted at any pc within the network .

further there is the possibility of binding the system to an in-house data base, in order to store and evaluate production and junk separately from the image-processing-system too.

• standard-PC working as an evaluation-unit
• multiple use of the PC: handling production data, documentation and archiving
• high evaluation speed through hardware near programming

• simple calibration by untrained personal
• overview of 80 camera pictures at the central - control
• visualization of the camera pictures at the production computer and the central-control
