Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the non-stationary detection device 1 according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The unsteady detection device 1 is, for example, a programmable display. In the present embodiment, the unsteady state detection device 1 will be described by taking as an example a case where an unsteady state is detected for an arbitrary work unit of a production process, that is, a specified tact, in a production line. One tact may be one manufacturing process of a manufacturing line to be monitored or may include a plurality of manufacturing processes. In addition, the use of the unsteady detection apparatus 1 is not limited to a production line.

  The unsteady detection device 1 uses image data captured by the imaging device 2 as data used for detecting the unsteady state. The non-stationary detection device 1 is a tact of a manufacturing process based on information acquired from an external device 3 such as a programmable controller that controls manufacturing equipment in a manufacturing line, or a measuring instrument that detects an event defined in the manufacturing line. Is detected. The unsteady state detection device 1 accepts a setting such as a determination threshold necessary in the unsteady state detection process described later from the operator 4.

  The configuration of the unsteady detection device 1 will be described. The non-stationary detection device 1 includes a data acquisition unit 11 that acquires image data from the imaging device 2, and a first characteristic that indicates the frequency characteristics of each image data from the image data acquired by the data acquisition unit 11 using an image compression technique. The first element is extracted from the first element division unit 15 to be described later, and the temporal change characteristic of the first element is shown using an image compression technique from the first element for one tact. The element extraction part 12 which extracts 2 elements, and the 1st element memory | storage part 13 which memorize | stores the 1st element extracted by the element extraction part 12 are provided.

  Further, the non-stationary detection device 1 transmits / receives data and the like to / from the external device 3, and based on the information from the external device 3, an external device connection interface 14 that detects one tact, which is a work unit to be monitored, For each tact notified from the external device connection interface 14, the first element for one tact is divided and read from the first element storage unit 13, and the first element for one tact is extracted by the element extraction unit 12. And a first element dividing unit 15 that delivers the data to the first element dividing unit 15.

  The non-stationary detection device 1 also includes a second element storage unit 16 that stores the second element extracted by the element extraction unit 12, and a second element of the tact that has been determined to be in a steady state in the past. A clustering information storage unit 17 that stores clustering information including a data group indicating distribution information in the case of a vector, and elements of each tact extracted by the element extraction unit 12, that is, the second element storage unit 16 Using the second element of the tact to be determined that is stored and the clustering information stored in the clustering information storage unit 17, it is determined whether the tact to be determined in the monitoring target is an unsteady state or a steady state. And a determination unit 18.

  The unsteady state detection device 1 receives an operation from the operator 4 and sets the determination threshold used in the determination process of the determination unit 18 in the determination unit 18 and the determination result of the determination unit 18. Based on the display generation unit 20 that generates the display information including the determination result, the display unit 21 that displays the display information generated by the display generation unit 20, and the element extraction unit 12 when the second element is extracted. And an image information storage unit 22 for storing the used first element. The first element storage unit 13, the second element storage unit 16, the clustering information storage unit 17, and the image information storage unit 22 are collectively referred to as a storage unit 23.

  Next, an unsteady detection method of the unsteady state detection apparatus 1 for detecting whether or not the monitoring target is in the unsteady state, that is, a process for detecting the unsteady state will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a process for detecting an unsteady state in the unsteady state detection apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment.

  First, in the non-stationary detection device 1, the data acquisition unit 11 acquires image data, which is data of an image captured by the imaging device 2 including the monitoring target, from the imaging device 2 (step S1). The imaging device 2 is, for example, a digital camera. The data acquisition unit 11 acquires a continuous image group that is a plurality of image data from the imaging device 2. For example, when the imaging device 2 continuously captures 30 still images per second, the data acquisition unit 11 obtains still image data from the imaging device 2 every time the imaging device 2 captures a still image. get.

  The element extraction unit 12 is an element indicating the characteristics of the frequency constituting each image data by frequency-decomposing each image data from each image data to be monitored acquired by the data acquisition unit 11 using an image compression technique. 1 element is extracted (step S2). The element extraction unit 12 can extract the first element from the image data using an existing method such as principal component analysis or weblet conversion as an image compression technique.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating two elements extracted by the element extraction unit 12 according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 3, the solid line indicated by (1) such as the first and second sheets on the axis in the time direction is the first element extracted from each image data to be monitored by the element extraction unit 12. It is an element of the frequency that indicates the characteristics of the constituent frequencies. Here, the passage of time is indicated by the number of sheets such as the first sheet and the second sheet. In FIG. 3, the dotted line indicated by (2) on the axis in the frequency direction is a second element extracted from the first element by the element extraction unit 12 as will be described later. It is an element of the temporal change of the frequency element, indicating the characteristics or transition of the change. In FIG. 3, the axis in the amplitude direction indicates the size of the frequency element, that is, the amplitude. In the non-stationary detection apparatus 1, a range in which movement is caused by a person, an object, or a manufacturing device in the production line is set as a monitoring target for non-steady state detection, and the content of a still image, that is, image data is different at each photographing time. Therefore, the first element indicating the frequency feature extracted from the image data by the element extraction unit 12 indicates the transition of the frequency feature that differs depending on the first image, the second image, that is, the time when the still image was taken. become. In a production line to be monitored, generally, a person, an object, or a production device repeats the same movement every tact. Therefore, in the case of the steady state, the first element extracted from the image data for one tact in each tact exhibits the same characteristics in the same time zone in each tact.

  Each time the element extraction unit 12 extracts the first element from the image data, the element extraction unit 12 stores the extracted first element in the first element storage unit 13 (step S3).

  The external device connection interface 14 detects one tact that is a work unit of the production line to be monitored for unsteady state detection based on the information acquired from the external device 3 (step S4). One tact is a work unit of one or a plurality of manufacturing processes in the manufacturing line to be monitored. The external device connection interface 14 detects a unit of work repeated in the production line to be monitored as one tact. For example, when the external device 3 is a programmable controller, the external device connection interface 14 detects one tact from information on the processing range of the programmable controller. Alternatively, for example, when the external device 3 is a measuring instrument that detects an event defined in the production line, the external device connection interface 14 detects one tact from information on an interval for detecting the event. Specifically, when the measuring instrument is a sensor that detects the flow of an object, the external device connection interface 14 detects one tact at an interval at which the sensor detects that a specific object flows in the manufacturing process. Each time the external device connection interface 14 detects one tact, the external device connection interface 14 notifies the first element dividing unit 15 that one tact has been detected.

  The first element division unit 15 stores the first element storage unit 13 in the first element storage unit 13 every time it receives a notification from the external device connection interface 14 that one tact that is a unit of work has been detected. The first element being read is read out. That is, the first element dividing unit 15 divides the first element that has been extracted by the element extracting unit 12 for each tact (step S5). The first element division unit 15 delivers the first element for one tact read from the first element storage unit 13 to the element extraction unit 12.

  The element extraction unit 12 uses an image compression technique for the first element for one tact acquired from the first element division unit 15, for the specified frequency or for each specified frequency interval. A second element is extracted as an element indicating the temporal change feature of the element (step S6). The method of extracting the second element in the element extraction unit 12 is the same as that for extracting the first element.

  When the element extraction unit 12 extracts the second element from the first element, the information of the dotted line (2) shown in FIG. 3 can be obtained. In FIG. 3, only one dotted line is shown as the second element, but this is for easy understanding of the image of the second element. It is assumed that the element extraction unit 12 actually extracts the second element from the first element at a plurality of frequencies.

  Every time the second element is extracted from the first element, the element extraction unit 12 stores the extracted second element in the second element storage unit 16 (step S7). Also, the element extraction unit 12 stores the first element for one tact used in extracting the second element in the image information storage unit 22 (step S8).

  The determination unit 18 reads the second element of the tact to be determined from the second element storage unit 16, refers to the clustering information in the clustering information storage unit 17, and the tact to be determined is in an unsteady state in the monitoring target. It is determined whether or not there is (step S9). For example, the determination unit 18 sets the data amount of the second element for one tact, and periodically checks the second element storage unit 16 to store one tact amount in the second element storage unit 16. Reading may be performed after the data amount of the second element is stored.

  Here, the clustering information stored in the clustering information storage unit 17 will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an image of a relationship between the clustering information stored in the clustering information storage unit 17 and the second element of the tact to be determined read from the second element storage unit 16 in the first embodiment. is there.

  The clustering information includes a steady state data group 41 that is distribution information of second elements of a plurality of tacts that have been determined to be in a steady state in the past, and center coordinates 42 of the steady state data group 41. In general, the second element extracted by the element extraction unit 12 can be expressed by a mathematical expression such as a quadratic expression or a cubic expression, and the feature of the mathematical expression is calculated using a coefficient of each degree of the obtained mathematical expression. It can be expressed by information. The steady state data group 41 represents a distribution of points indicated by vectors of second elements of a plurality of tacts determined to be in a steady state in the past. The center coordinate 42 indicates the coordinate position of the center obtained from the distribution state of the points indicated by the vectors of the second elements of the plurality of tacts determined to be in the steady state in the past. The second element 43 is a point indicated by a vector represented by the second element of the tact to be determined read from the second element storage unit 16. The center coordinates 42 may be the center of gravity of the steady state data group 41.

  In the determination unit 18, a determination threshold for determining whether or not the tact to be determined is in an unsteady state is set in advance by the operator 4 via the operation reception unit 19. When the distance between the central coordinate 42 shown in FIG. 4 and the second element 43 of the determination target tact is equal to or greater than the determination threshold, the determination unit 18 determines that the determination target tact is in an unsteady state in the monitoring target. (Step S9: Yes). When the determination unit 18 determines that the determination target tact is in an unsteady state, the determination unit 18 notifies the display generation unit 20 of a determination result that the determination target tact is in an unsteady state.

  In the case of the determination result that the tact to be determined is in the unsteady state, the display generation unit 20 includes the first element for one tact of the tact that has been determined to be the steady state in the past from the image information storage unit 22 and this time. The first element for one tact of the tact to be determined that is determined to be an unsteady state in the determination is acquired. The display generation unit 20 restores the image data of the tact of the steady state from the first element of the tact that has been determined to be the steady state in the past, and the first tact of the determination target that has been determined to be the unsteady state by the current determination. The image data of the non-steady state tact is restored from the elements. The display generation unit 20 detects a difference between the steady-state tact image data and the unsteady-state tact image data, and displays the steady-state tact image data and the unsteady-state tact image data in an overlapping manner. Image information in which the difference is highlighted on the image is generated. The display generation unit 20 performs control for generating display information including determination results such as characters indicating that the tact to be determined is in an unsteady state and image information and displaying the display information on the display unit 21 (step S10). ). The display generation unit 20 detects the difference between the steady-state tact image data and the unsteady-state tact image data, and highlights the difference on the image displaying the non-steady-state tact image data. Information may be generated.

  FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the image data to be monitored in the tact determined by the determination unit 18 as the unsteady state and the image data to be monitored in the tact determined as the steady state in the display generation unit 20 according to the first embodiment. It is a figure which shows an example of the image information which highlighted the difference. For example, the unsteady state detection device 1 can detect an unsteady state when an intruder 51 is near the production line. FIG. 6 shows image information in which the difference between the tact image data determined by the determination unit 18 as the unsteady state and the tact image data determined as the steady state in the display generation unit 20 according to the first embodiment is highlighted. It is a figure which shows the other example of. The unsteady state detection device 1 can detect a non-steady state when, for example, a product 61 having an abnormality such as breakage is present in a product that always flows on a production line that moves.

  If the determination unit 18 determines that the tact of the determination target is in an unsteady state in the monitoring target (step S9: Yes), the determination unit 18 may output the determination result to the external device 3 via the external device connection interface 14. Good. The determination unit 18 may acquire the display information generated by the display generation unit 20 from the display generation unit 20 and output the display information to the external device 3 via the external device connection interface 14.

  When the distance between the center coordinate 42 shown in FIG. 4 and the second element 43 of the determination target tact is smaller than the determination threshold, the determination unit 18 determines that the determination target tact is in a steady state in the monitoring target ( Step S9: No). If the determination unit 18 determines that the determination target tact is in a steady state, the determination unit 18 notifies the display generation unit 20 of a determination result that the determination target tact is in a steady state. The display generation unit 20 may generate display information including a determination result such as a character indicating that the tact to be determined is in a steady state and display the display information on the display unit 21.

  Further, the determination unit 18 clusters the second element of the tact to be determined as being in the steady state (step S11). Specifically, the determination unit 18 causes the clustering information storage unit 17 to store vector information based on the second element of the determination target tact determined to be in the steady state. The determination unit 18 edits the clustering information in the clustering information storage unit 17, and adds the vector information based on the second element of the determination target tact determined to be in the steady state to the steady state data group 41. The determination unit 18 includes the second element of the tact determined to be in the steady state this time in the steady state data group 41 illustrated in FIG. 4, and recalculates the center coordinates 42 when necessary. Thereby, the determination unit 18 can update the clustering information stored in the clustering information storage unit 17 to the latest state.

  In addition, although the case where image data is used as information for detecting the state of the manufacturing process in the non-stationary detection device 1 has been described, the information for detecting the state of the manufacturing process is not limited to image data. Absent. The unsteady detection device 1 measures, for example, a numerical value obtained from a measuring instrument such as a pressure gauge that measures the pressure of a press machine or the like installed in a manufacturing process, or a flow meter that measures the air flowing through a piston that moves by air pressure. It is also possible to use data, that is, the value of a measuring instrument that measures the state of operation of the manufacturing equipment. Moreover, the unsteady detection apparatus 1 may use logging data of each device used in the manufacturing process as information for detecting the state of the manufacturing process. The data acquisition unit 11 acquires measurement data such as these numerical values or logging data.

  Further, the clustering information storage unit 17 stores the steady state data group 41 using the information on the second element of the tact that has been determined to be the steady state in the past, and the second tact of the tact that has been newly determined to be the steady state. The steady state data group 41 is updated using element information, but the amount of data may be excessive. Therefore, when the capacity of the steady-state data group 41 reaches a certain amount, the determination unit 18 may delete the information of the second element from the steady-state data group 41 in order from the oldest acquisition time, or a certain period of time has elapsed. Information on the subsequent second element may be deleted from the steady state data group 41.

  In addition, the element extraction unit 12 stores the first element for one tact used when the second element is extracted in the image information storage unit 22, but the image data restored from the first element You may memorize | store in the image information storage part 22 in a state. In this case, it is necessary to increase the capacity of the image information storage unit 22, but it is not necessary to restore the image data from the first element in the display generation unit 20, so that the configuration of the display generation unit 20 can be simplified. it can.

  In addition, the operator 4 sets a determination threshold value in the determination unit 18 via the operation accepting unit 19, but in order to set the determination threshold value as a numerical value, the operator 4 is a device that is a target for unsteady detection in the manufacturing process. Must be proficient with Therefore, the operator 4 may change the determination threshold with reference to the image information in the unsteady state displayed on the display unit 21. In addition, the operator 4 operates the determination unit 18 via the operation reception unit 19 for the second element of the tact that has been erroneously detected as an unsteady state because the value set as the determination threshold is inappropriate. Alternatively, the second element of the tact to be determined may be selected and clustered as the steady state data group 41 in the clustering information storage unit 17. The operator 4 may dynamically change the determination threshold value according to the determination result of the determination unit 18, and may set hysteresis instead of a unique value as the determination threshold value.

  Next, the hardware configuration of the non-stationary detection device 1 will be described. In the non-stationary detection device 1, the data acquisition unit 11 is realized by an interface circuit capable of receiving image data and the like. The external device connection interface 14 is realized by an interface circuit capable of transmitting / receiving data to / from the external device 3. The operation reception unit 19 is realized by a device such as a mouse or a keyboard. The display unit 21 is realized by a display such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The storage unit 23 including the first element storage unit 13, the second element storage unit 16, the clustering information storage unit 17, and the image information storage unit 22 is realized by a memory. The element extraction unit 12, the first element division unit 15, the determination unit 18, and the display generation unit 20 are realized by a processing circuit. The processing circuit may be dedicated hardware, or a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that executes a program stored in the memory and a memory.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the processing circuit of the unsteady state detection device 1 according to the first embodiment is configured by the CPU 91 and the memory 92. When the processing circuit is configured by the CPU 91 and the memory 92, each function of the element extraction unit 12, the first element division unit 15, the determination unit 18, and the display generation unit 20 is software, firmware, or software and firmware. Realized by combination. Software or firmware is described as a program and stored in the memory 92. In the processing circuit, each function is realized by the CPU 91 reading and executing the program stored in the memory 92.

  The CPU 91 may be a processing device, an arithmetic device, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, a processor, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), or the like. The memory 92 is a nonvolatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), flash memory, EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), EEPROM (Electrically EPROM), etc. A magnetic disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, a compact disk, a mini disk, a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), or the like is applicable. The memory that implements the storage unit 23 may be the memory 92.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the non-stationary detection device 1, for each tact monitoring target that is a unit of work accompanied by movement of a production line or the like, each of the continuous image groups in which the monitoring target is photographed. A first element indicating a frequency characteristic of each image data is extracted from the image data using an image compression technique, and the temporal change of the first element is extracted from the first element for one tact using the image compression technique. The second element indicating the feature is extracted, and the determination target is obtained using the second element of the tact to be determined and the clustering information including the data group of the second element of the tact that has been determined to be a steady state in the past. It was decided to determine whether the tact of this is unsteady or steady. Thereby, the unsteady state detection apparatus 1 can detect the unsteady state with respect to the monitoring object accompanied by movement in the steady state. Further, when the non-stationary detection device 1 targets a monitoring target with movement in a steady state, the image data obtained by photographing the monitoring target is used as it is by performing the processing by the image compression technique in two stages. As compared with, the unsteady state can be detected with a small amount of information.
