Augmented Reality System to Help Train New Skilled Workers for PCB Inspection

Abstract

Printed circuit board (PCB) inspection is one of the major requirements in electronic industry, as in the last decades, a number of innovative methods have been designed and implemented. Due to various reasons, many companies are still using skilled workers instead of fully automated systems for PCB inspection. As the training of new workers is time and recourse consuming, this paper presents an augmented reality based system, which provides an additional aid by presenting discrete information gathered from the experience of skilled workers.

Keywords: Printed Circuit Board, Augmented Reality, Computer Vision, Automated Visual Inspection.
