Popis: The current methods of measuring screw threads are either timeconsuming or expensive. In addition, no single measurement method isavailable and capable of accurately measuring all screw thread featureswhile significantly reducing the measurement time. This paperintroduces a vision system for automatic measurement and inspection ofmost types of screw threads. Many image processing and computervision algorithms have been developed to analyze the captured images ofscrew threads and perform the measurement and inspection processes.Most of the common screw thread features (18 features) could bemeasured by the introduced vision system. The system has beencalibrated for both imperial and metric units and was verified bymeasuring a standard ISO metric thread plug gage and comparing theresults of the measurements with the standard values. The results showedthat the maximum difference between the standard and measured valueswas ±5.4 m, which provide a good accuracy for measurement.
