A unit of study in the Graduate Certificate of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing Technology), Master of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing Technology), Master of Technology (Advanced Manufacturing Technology) Master of Engineering Science (Advanced Manufacturing Technology)
Aim is to provide students with an understanding of the techniques available for non-contact inspection and measurement with an emphasis on the application of computer vision to the manufacturing industry. After successfully completing this unit, the student should be able to achieve the following objectives and learning outcomes: Develop an understanding and appreciation of the intelligent inspection systems and their applications to the manufacturing industry. Attain a degree of competency in the development and application of various sensing techniques available and how they are combined with other equipment and software to form inspection systems. Apply the practical experience in the use of some tools for inspection and measurement Apply the knowledge of some of the algorithms used in the simple digital image processing software Assess the trends in inspection technology development and their applications
Lectures
Written Exam (worth 60%),Assignments worth 40%).
Students are expected to enhance several of their graduate attributes during this unit and should consult with your lecturer if not clear as to how this unit achieves this. Specific Swinburne generic attributes, which will be expected to be enhanced include that students: Are informed and knowledgeable in the area.Have pertinent skills and abilitiesHave the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.Have the ability to effectively communicate using a range of media and in varied contexts.Are self driven learners.
