Research abstract
TDA proposes to develop a device to automatically identify and measure the properties (resistance, inductance, and capacitance) of passive components on a printed circuit assembly. TDA’s system uses advanced computer vision techniques to identify the passive elements on a printed circuit board (PCB). It then electrically isolates each component and measures its value (resistance, capacitance, or inductance) and generates a bill of materials (BOM) listing each component’s location, package size, and value so that the PCB can be effectively characterized for future maintenance. TDA’s automatic characterization system will significantly improve the ability to evaluate unknown printed circuit assemblies, speeding up the processing time, improving reliability, and reducing costs.
