Multiobjective image recognition algorithm in the fully automatic die bonder

Abstract

It is a very important task to automatically fix the number of die in the image recognition system of a fully automatic die bonder. A multiobjective image recognition algorithm based on clustering Genetic Algorithm (GA), is proposed in this paper. In the evolutionary process of GA, a clustering method is provided that utilizes information from the template and the fitness landscape of the current population. The whole population is grouped into different niches by the clustering method. Experimental results demonstrated that the number of target images could be determined by the algorithm automatically, and multiple targets could be recognized at a time. As a result, time consumed by one image recognition is shortened, the performance of the image recognition system is improved, and the atomization of the system is fulfilled.
