There are many classification methods for FPC flexible circuit board products. According to the number of laminating layers of FPC flexible circuit board, it can be divided into single-sided FPC flexible circuit board, double-sided FPC flexible circuit board, multi-layer FPC flexible circuit board and soft-hard combination board.  FPC flexible circuit board as a common type of circuit board, its market share is rising with the development of electronic products to miniaturization and portability.  However, FPC flexible circuit board may appear in the process of processing, loading, mounting and other production defects, such as circuit break, short circuit, line width does not match.  In view of this, this paper mainly analyzes FPC flexible circuit board defect detection method.

FPC flexible circuit board product classification methods are many, according to the number of flexible circuit board laminating layer can be divided into: single panel, double panel, multi-layer board and soft and hard combination board.  

FPC flexible circuit board defect detection technology development status  

The existing FPC flexible PCB defect detection algorithm is mostly derived from PCB detection algorithm. However, due to the limitation of its uniqueness, FPC flexible PCB defect detection algorithm cannot be directly applied to FPC flexible PCB defect detection algorithm because of its higher accuracy requirements, larger detection sample size and easy deformation of the sample image.  It is necessary to develop a suitable detection algorithm according to the actual circuit characteristics of FPC flexible circuit board.  

China metrology institute of the traditional problem of slow speed and low accuracy of template matching algorithm, the proposed FPC flexible circuit board line defects can be divided into two categories, global and local defect, eight connected domain area method combined with global histogram matching method to capture image defects, on the basis of projection matching and correlation coefficient method is used to identify local defect of the image.  This method is faster and more accurate than traditional detection algorithms, but the classification of related defect categories is not detailed enough.  

Analysis of FPC flexible circuit board defect detection method  

For the global template matching problem, the local template matching method is considered to implement FPC flexible circuit board defect detection.  Considering that in the template matching method based on contour, the template should have significant contour characteristics. Although the conventional lines on the FPC flexible circuit board go in a regular direction, they have no significant shape characteristics. Moreover, the conventional lines are distributed in the whole image, and the large-format template matching time is too slow, which is not conducive to line detection.  

Special-shaped circuit belongs to the irregular shape on the FPC flexible circuit board, generally including LED lights, S-shaped circles, etc.  Due to the shape of peripherals, the wiring is generally related to the pattern structure of the FPC flexible circuit board to be inspected.  In view of this kind of line, the template matching method is considered to implement detection: firstly, the position and pose of each special-shaped line on the whole FPC flexible circuit board are located by rough step of template matching method, and the contour of special-shaped line is obtained. Then defect detection was carried out based on morphology theory.

(1) Load the data information related to the registration template, including the registration template area and profile information.  

(2) Using the regional information carried by the registered template, locate the template search space, and search the template instance in the search image based on the metric principle of normalized Correlation number (NCC).  

(3) Cut the irregular area.  The size of the special-shaped region is obtained by taking the smallest enclosing rectangle of the shape template instance. Since the shape template is a rectangular region, the region obtained by the smallest enclosing rectangle is the matched special-shaped region.  Arbitrary template matching cannot make two images perfectly aligned in space, there is a match within a permissible range.  Due to the reduction of the space range, the matching accuracy of the shape template is improved. The overall matching error is about 1/5 line width (3 pixels), which is within the allowable range of defect determination.  

(4) Considering the precision error of shape matching, before the difference between the standard template image and the image of the irregular region is calculated directly, corrosion operation is carried out on the irregular region by small size structural elements to remove the influence of boundary difference.  When there are defects in the image, the corrosion operation at this size cannot completely corrode the defective line, so the final judgment result is not affected.  

(5) Regional difference set calculation is carried out between the template image and the irregular region to obtain the difference region of the two.  When there is no defect, the difference is 0.  When there is a defect, the region difference set returns a binary image which is not 0.  

(6) Mark the connected domain of the difference image to segment different defect blocks;  

(7) Calculate the area of each connected domain, and take the geometric size center of the largest defect block as the center of the irregular region to output the defect information.  

The FPC flexible circuit board defect detection method is studied from the global and local scope, and experimental conclusions are drawn:  

(1) Due to the imaging deformation of the FPC flexible circuit board, the template matching circuit based on the global scope is misaligned, and the defect information on the image cannot be correctly located.  

(2) Based on local template matching, firstly cut out the FPC flexible circuit board has significant shape characteristics compared with the conventional circuit, and take it as the template;  Instance detection is performed near the corresponding template area on the search image to compress the search space.  Then the line defect information is detected based on morphology theory.  

In short, as the most basic component of electronic circuit, FPC flexible circuit board greatly affects the quality of the entire electronic products.  Therefore, how to implement precision of FPC flexible circuit board defect detection is an important link of the product quality assurance, and most domestic enterprises commonly rely on artificial visual to the flexible circuit board defect detection, high cost and low efficiency, and because there is no relative standard quality inspection standards, staff by reason of subjective consciousness or visual fatigue prone to leak and mistakenly identified;  Due to the limitations of equipment price, technical support and after-sales service, the excellent foreign testing equipment introduced by some enterprises is difficult to adapt to the low cost and mass production needs of modern technology.  Therefore, it is urgent to develop a set of fast and efficient FPC flexible circuit board defect automatic detection system to meet the needs of the domestic market.
