Monitoring image-based processes using a PCA-based control chart and a classification technique

Kazemi, S.; Niaki, S.

Abstract: Machine vision systems are among the novel tools proven to be useful in different applications, among which monitoring and controlling manufacturing processes is one of the most important ones. However, due to the complexity resulted from high-dimensional image data and their inherent correlations, the acquisition of traditional statistical process control tools seems inapplicable. To overcome the shortcomings of the traditional methods in this regard, a statistical model is proposed in this paper which utilizes the concepts of both the PCA-based T2 control chart and the classification methods to develop a tool capable of controlling an image-based process. By defining the warning zones, collected data taken from an image-based process are classified into more than the two classes related to in-control and out-of-control processes. This helps practitioners to define rules to make it easier to realize when the process is getting out of control. Through simulation, the accuracy performance and the speed of four different types of classifiers including linear discriminant analysis (LDA), quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA), kth nearest neighbors (KNN), and support vector machine (SVM) are assessed in different scenarios, based on which the functionality of the proposed approach is evaluated in in-control and out-of-control conditions.
