INSTRUCTIONS OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a consumer flatbed scanner having a photo unit and a slide unit and an improved penetrating light irradiation device, which is used as an electro-optical system It can be used for the detection and quantitative analysis of light absorption and optical deflection visual defects in the offline error detection of transparent plastic samples. Suitable transparent plastic samples are, for example, polymethyl methacrylate film (PMMA film), polymethyl methacrylate molded article, polycarbonate film (PC film), and a composite film made of the foregoing materials. [Prior Art] The present invention relates to a transparent plastic sample based on a consumer flatbed scanner (11) having a transparencies (14) in a scanner cover (13) (Fig. 2, No. 1 5) Development of an offline error detection device. Consumer flat-panel scanners can be understood as platform scanners sold in the general electronic parts market, such as Canonscan LIDE and compatible models, Epson Perfection, Epson V10, Epson V100 and compatible models or Hewlett Packard Scanjet model. These scanners have a USB or Firewire connection to connect to a personal computer. The plastic sample (15) is placed in the sensing area of the slide unit (14) and the photo unit (12). The defect (16) in the material (15) can be detected by such a sensing/irradiation state by penetrating light or incident light, which can be classified by size and type. The flatbed scanner (1) can be used not only to search within the plastic sample (8) but also with the improvement of the slide unit (No. 3-5-200848721, Figure 6) provided in the scanner cover (5). Analysis of light absorption errors (9) can also search for and analyze transparent light deflection errors called gels (3). In this regard, the scanner cover (5) must be placed on the scanner (1) so as to be raised upward by the attachment (4). In addition, the slide unit (5) must be movable in a predetermined manner to cause the sensor unit (2) and the transmissive illumination device (6) to leave their original positional configuration. The entire observation area of the line sensor (2) now contains the non-lighting area (7) of the slide unit. Conventional Skills = In the manufacture of plastics, especially in the case of transparent plastic parts, there is a great demand for visual purity. Therefore, material samples should be tested offline for impurities and visual defects before production or at the same time as the ongoing process. The results provide a quantitative report on the visual purity of the material. For this purpose, there are many well-known image processing companies that provide optoelectronic systems; descriptions of such systems can be downloaded from the following links, for example: (eg http://www.ocsgmbh/en/st4.php). These off-line error detection devices simultaneously detect light absorption and light deflection defects by performing asymmetric illumination on an edge that is not within the depth of field of the image being sensed. These sample testers feature modern illumination and sensor units and can be used in a variety of ways. Commercially available flatbed scanners are only used to digitize text or images-6-200848721 (photos, slides), but they have not been used for other purposes as error detection devices. There is also no such improved illumination device. The high level of performance of sample testers in industrial environments is subject to high levels of financial investment corresponding to acquisition and operational complexity. Moreover, for simple questions, these systems are often “over-engineered” and therefore cannot rationalize their purchase and use. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Problems and Answers: The present invention is based on the development of an off-line error detection system based on a consumer platform scanner hardware, thereby providing an inexpensive solution suitable for the problem. In detail, as an error detecting device, the scanner must also be able to detect a transparent light-deflecting gel on a transparent plastic sample. The device of the present invention shown in Figure 3 achieves these objectives through a surprisingly simple version. Consumer scanners are quite mature in the field of sensor systems and optical systems, and high-quality systems and their applications are not necessarily limited to the digitalization of text and imaging materials. All that is required is a scanner with a slide unit (6). In this case, the area scanned by the slide unit limits the area to be inspected. In order to be able to detect a transparent light-deflecting gel (3) on the sample material (8) in addition to the absorbing impurities, it is necessary to simply improve the sensing conditions. Based on the experience of the illumination test and the exemplary industrial system 200848721, asymmetric illumination and a dark area are required. In this regard, the depth of the sensor must be in the depth of field of the sensor (depth-of-the edge is not displayed. By placing the cam on the scanner (1), the attachment (4) Therefore, it is now possible to obtain that the non-scanning cover portion (5) still has to be moved in a horizontally parallel manner. Therefore, the light irradiation device (6) and the sensor unit (2) in the scanning operation are determined. The mode changes. This causes the sensed image material to contain a light absorption error (9), and the modified slide film unit (6, 7) is located in the sensor unit (line sensor) (2). The light intensity decays. According to the size of the defect, the signal of the wearer will be significantly attenuated. The light deflecting clock will now clearly show the edge condition between the light-transmitting part and the light-emitting part (7). The associated pixels now show a more uniform distinction between these features that allow for the classification of gels with bright and dark defects and defects in place. In the case of the scene, the resolution of the scene is determined by the number of sensors. The depth of field of this system is also tested in the best way, but not exclusively, that is, it is illuminated outside a bright transition, ie the edge, field, because the F scanner cover (5) is raised. It can reach the symmetrical illumination, but in the direction of the scan, the position between the scanner penetrations will be darkened according to the pre-scene. If the material is in the wrong area of the sensor unit (2), there will be a significant image of the detector unit (2) in the relevant pixel, that is, the gel (3) J penetrating light irradiation device (6, such as the same lens. Sensing background is high and dark points. This solution for the problem with bright and dark parts. The pixels in unit (2) determine the sample thickness, which is ok. -8- 200848721 The scanner is connected to a host computer for data processing and classifying errors according to the type and size. [Embodiment] Parts of the implementation error identification system of the present invention The present invention was based on Epson Perfection V 750 The consumer platform scanner (1) is implemented. Technical data (taken from the data sheet): Physical resolution of the flatbed scanner with DIN A4 slide unit: 6400 dpi * 9 60 0 dpi (fixed by film) Fixed sample for scanning) Optical density: 4.0 DMax interface: USB2.0 (B-type socket connector xl) High-speed IEEE 1 3 94 (6-pin XI) Optoelectronic device: 6-line color matrix CCD with Epson microlens 113 2806400 dpi (18880x2 x3 colors) Light source: White cold cathode fluorescent light line This device is among the top price range of consumer flatbed scanners' but still offers significant price advantages over industrial solutions (up to 100 times). The high resolution of this device is suitable for the price' These manufacturers' specifications can be summarized as lower actual prices. In order to get the better resolution of this device, the sample must be placed in Fixed seat, but it is a solution to this problem. -9- 200848721 The sample material (8) to be tested for impurities is a plastic film with a thickness of 〇3 mm. In the case of extruded materials, this The invention reveals that the edge direction and the extrusion direction must be parallel, so that the unevenness of the surface does not have a visual effect to ensure the best misidentification. ί ί 附件 附件 attachment (4) is by, for example, p 1 e χ g 1 ass® made, but the material is not important. The scanner cover (5) is set to be lifted by 5 cm from the attachment (4) and can be moved horizontally in a predetermined manner until it has The gel of the characteristics is advantageously displayed in the sensed image. The scanning and image editing software used is SilverFast from Lasersoft Imaging®. The evaluation device is a general PC with a USB2.0 interface. The analysis software. The advantages of the present invention provide a significant financial advantage over industrial sample testers' and are a powerful error detection device that can be used to find different impurities within a transparent material. The modification of the illumination device does not require changes to the existing illumination unit, nor does it need to be combined with other types of illumination methods. In addition, consumer scanners are known for use in homes and offices, and are therefore relatively simple and intuitive to operate. Asymmetric illumination, generally known in the practice of the present invention, for detecting transparent light deflection errors is applicable to any flatbed scanner having a slide unit, even if the scanner is in a light-emitting region that penetrates the light carrier (6) Side -10- 200848721 does not have dark, non-illuminated areas (7). In this case, the method of the present invention can be implemented by making an edge (Fig. 4, number 7) in the light-transmitting region (6). This non-light-emitting area (7) can be made using, for example, a black tape. Other parts of this system are identical to the present invention. The cover (5) of the scanner (1) must be set to be raised by the attachment (4) for inspection of the absorbency (9) and the transparent deflection error (3) on the sample (8). By horizontally moving the scanner cover (5), it is possible to form a re-formation for detecting the gel (3) between the sensor line (2) and the slide unit (6) having the cover (7). Positioning. The invention also provides for the selection of samples to be tested using three illumination configurations. They are inspection operations using incident light, using normal transmitted light, and improved transmitted light using the method according to the invention. These means of exposure can be used individually or in combination for error detection. In the case of a gel on a PMMA film, the smallest size of error that can be detected is about 20 μm. In the case of visual errors on the tantalum film, the minimum size of the error that can be detected is approximately 20 μm. Example = Example 1: Error detection on polymethyl methacrylate film (PMMA film) A polymethyl methacrylate film having a thickness of 0.3 mm was aligned with the scanning area by a mount. An improved penetrating light illumination device is used to test for absorbency and deflection errors on the material. These errors are observable by the method of the invention -11 - 200848721 and can be classified according to the type and size. The "wrong" on the polymethyl methacrylate film is understood to mean crack particles, gels, foreign material contents, and surface errors. Example 2: Detection of the contents of a mobile phone display To analyze the size of the impurities in the injection-molded mobile phone display, the sample must be placed in the sensing area of the scanner. The sample is then tested by normal light transmission. This method provides good topographical information about the inclusions for subsequent reports on their size. Example 3: Detection of inclusions using incident light To analyze impurities in extruded materials, these materials are examined with incident light. The resulting image contains an error contrast that maximizes the absorption of light absorbing impurities. Description of the OFIS_CR (offline error detection system, developed by Christian Rosner) software for error detection devices This OFIS_CR software implements the steps of the image processing chain (see Figure 1). It also communicates with hardware and usage. This software is written in IDL (Interactive Data Language). IDL is produced by Research Systems, Inc. (RSI) and sold by the company Creaso GmbH in Germany. By using IDL Virtual Machine (IDLVM), this -12-200848721 can be executed on a variety of platforms (free download http://www.ittvis.com/download/chooseplatform.asp?urlPro ductCode = 13). In order to be able to use the scanner for error detection, the scanner must be connected to the computer and the software that controls the sensing operation must be installed. The start of the scanner requires the presence of another type of software. During the development process, it used SilverFast scanner software from Lasersoft Imaging®. The programming of the scanner's startup and the selection of the image processing of the software itself are not very convenient. The resulting image can be tested using this program, and the user can control the detection and classification of impurities through impurity parameters. After classification, this program provides relevant results and assessments. Figure 1 shows the execution of this 0 F I S _C R in time series. Required hardware and software hardware: • PC with USB connection and general peripherals (monitor, mouse, keyboard) • Epson Perfection V 750 Pro platform scanner software with accessories: • IDL Virtual Machine ( IDL VM) • LaserSoft Imaging®'s SilverFast® scanner software must be installed with software before connecting to the hardware. -13- 200848721 Error detection jobs were performed using a flatbed scanner and 〇FIS. The communication between the software and the user is pressed according to the input of the number. After the software launch screen, the user can select the source of the image to be detected by error. Next, the 0FIS workbook will be displayed in the form of a text file. The user can perform all the information about the inspection work (name, sample material, process related data). It also has a resolution (DPI indication) and a path to the scanner software. These numbers are set in the 〇F 1C workbook. In this regard, these standards are considered to be in the process of system development. If the scanner is set to capture media, the image's sensed scanner software is controlled. In order to detect the light-off deflection error at the same time, the illumination image pre-processing function mentioned in this patent must be performed. By using the scanner software, when the sample is being scanned, the external program will be aborted. In addition to this feature, it is also possible to read images from the file with the ability to have old samples tested with new parameters without the need for multiple scans. Image data must be in TIF format for error detection. On the gray scale of the image, use an image that can be interactive. The alignment of the _CR software and buttons is shown. Here, for example, it is reasonable to test the change of the image and the standard 此时 at this time. The measurement is improved by the acquired property and light. get on. When the information. This is a new way to check the self-test -14 - 200848721 In addition to the test image displayed on the screen, the grayscale outline of the current mouse position is also displayed. In this regard, a row or column that determines whether he or she needs an existing mouse position is displayed in the grayscale 値. After having the aforementioned information, the use must be entered with a grayscale threshold for the next step of the classification operation. Impurities in the material are detected and classified by the grayscale 设定 setting as a parameter. Brightness, Darkness, and Limitation will accurately classify any impurities into one category. In this case, the light and dark thresholds are used to isolate background noise, so only those numbers that exceed these thresholds are considered impurities. The basis of this simple classification strategy is the improved scanner illumination as described above. This classification is based on the following rules: • Brightness error: These impurities are brighter than the background of the more sensed image, and therefore exceed the light threshold. • On the limit: These impurities have a much smaller gray scale than the background noise and are therefore below the set dark threshold. • Gel: This impurity has the characteristics of a gel. Some detected blobs are brighter than the background, while others are darker. However, the smallest gray scale is not low. • Visually effective enamel particles: These inclusions with gel properties can be distinguished from the gel by a minimum gray scale enthalpy. In the case of ruthenium particles, this is below the limit. In this case, the limit is maintained as a standard, or the number entered by the user into the OFIS workbook. During the development process, it was found that -15-200848721, the content is usually below the gray scale 値30, and the gel is not lower than this number. In the direction in which the classification parameters are set, the intermediate image column is displayed as a grayscale contour because the gel properties can only be observed in the column direction according to the edge direction when the scanner senses. In the test image also shown, this column is marked in white. When there is information about the grayscale changes in the image, the average grayscale 値 and the distribution of the grayscale 値 in the image are displayed. These thresholds are added after they are input to the grayscale outline. After this point in the error detection job, a conclusion dialog will be used to enter any threshold again to start or stop the software. If the classification parameter set is used to start an error detection job, the amount of impurities and the progress indicator are displayed during the classification process. This allows the user to follow the classification over time. The end of the test is notified by the sound signal and the information screen. The main points of the classification strategy are as follows: The method of using the grayscale threshold 前面 described above can also be used when testing samples with incident light or normal transmitted light. Since these illumination techniques are used to detect light absorption errors in materials, the setting of dark thresholds is important in this case. The file obtained by the software is a quantitative report on the quality of the sample that has been quantified based on the size that has been quantified. These resources are adjusted for use after inspection. In addition to the tested test images, the image of the impurity is also stored in -16-200848721. Here, each impurity has a number. This number can be used to specifically check the number of any impurities and to view individual erroneous images. The image detected by the error detection contains the results of detection and classification. Each impurity in this image is surrounded by a detection frame. These detection frames around the impurities will have different colors depending on the classification result. This visual information provides the user with a quick view of the sample quality. The “0 FI S Workbook” shows the data entered by the user before and during the error detection. In addition, it shows the amount of different impurities. For each particle and gel, the results of the label number and size evaluation are shown. The following characteristics are considered: circular equivalent diameter, maximum Feret's diameter, and impurity size in the column direction. This workbook is additionally used to store test time. The “Error Image Folder” stores individual error images for each type of impurity. The error image also contains the size information of the impurity. The file name with the label number it contains can be used to deduce the error in the test image. 〇 To evaluate the size of the gel, these are equally stored in nxm format. The 2 D number matrix (gel size, absolute frequency of various sizes) stored in this format can be loaded into a spreadsheet program such as Excel for subsequent processing. These related dimensions are drawn in the form of a graphic in the “Evaluation Chart” folder and can be viewed in advance. Error message: -17- 200848721 In the use of OFIS.
