Edge AI Recognition of Wafer Saw Blade Labels

Blurred or Unclear Labels Affect Recognition Results

Label recognition technology, also known as Optical Character Recognition (OCR), has widespread applications but still faces challenges in practical usage. Image quality is a critical factor in determining recognition accuracy. If label images are blurred or affected by lighting issues, the accuracy of information extraction will be directly impacted. For instance, blurred images caused by equipment movement or unstable shooting angles reduce image clarity. Similarly, insufficient lighting can lower the contrast between text and background, making recognition more difficult.

Additionally, in complex backgrounds, surrounding text or patterns near the label can lead to misidentifications. Low contrast between text and background colors can also obscure character boundaries, making precise recognition challenging. Furthermore, labels may suffer from damage such as creases or scratches, leading to incomplete character information and ultimately affecting OCR accuracy.

Edge AI Systems Enhance Label Recognition Accuracy

Edge AI systems improve the recognition capabilities of wafer saw blade labels. Through AI integration, they are trained to handle challenging scenarios, such as differentiating between similar characters like the digit “0” and the letter “O,” or “8” and “B.” They also address issues arising from complex backgrounds and poor contrast. Post-training, these systems demonstrate improved recognition accuracy and efficiency. In application cases, industrial cameras capture label image data, which is transmitted to edge AI systems for character recognition. The recognition results are displayed on screens, providing precise recognition capabilities and enabling the storage of label recognition records.

Systems Designed for Edge AI Applications

The WEBS-45J1, equipped with the Hailo-8 AI module, delivers 26 TOPS of computing performance, meeting the needs of real-time label image analysis while providing accurate recognition results. Its wide temperature range (-20°C to 60°C) and fanless design ensure stable, low-noise operation. The system’s I/O interfaces ensure connectivity with peripheral devices, while dual DDR5 memory supports real-time computing capabilities. Two SATA storage ports secure the storage of recognition records, and dual GbE interfaces enhance data transmission expansion for high-speed communication.
