Figure 5.20: 150 transparent tubes of both good and manipulated tubes have been measured<br />

by the system at 30m/min and compared to ground truth data. The system is able to reliably<br />

separate the tubes that meet the tolerances around the target length of 50mm from the<br />

manipulated tubes without any false positive or false negative.<br />

activated. This means tubes that do not meet the tolerances should be sorted out. Once<br />

all tubes have passed the measuring area it is checked how many of the manipulated tubes<br />

have also passed the blow out mechanism (false positives) and how many good tubes<br />

have been sorted out (false negatives). To simplify this task the manipulated tubes have<br />

been marked before. This experiment is repeated 22 times leading to a total number of<br />

1144 inspected tubes. The results can be found in Table 5.7. The total detection rate<br />

is Ωtotal =0.99, i.e. 6 tubes out of 1144 could pass the measuring area without being<br />

measured at. Three tubes have been sorted out wrongly representing a false negative rate<br />

of ΩFN =0.0026, i.e. 2.6 .<br />

The false positives are more critical. 5 outliers have not been blown out correctly, thus,<br />

ΩFP =0.0043. However, it turns out that 4 of the 5 false positives occur at sequences<br />

with at least one non detected tube. Hence with the ratio of good and manipulated<br />

tubes of about 2:3, the probability is larger that the not inspected tube is a manipulated<br />

one. In this case the false positives are most likely not due to failures in measuring, but<br />

originated in the fact that these tubes have not been measured at all. At production, all<br />

non inspected tubes should be sorted out and revised to be sure that no outlier can pass.<br />

5.3.7. Tube Length<br />

Measuring tubes of a different length requires the adaptation of the visual field of the<br />

camera. For tubes < 50mm this means placing the camera closer to the conveyor. However,<br />

due to the minimum object distance (250mm) of the 16mm lens used in the experiments<br />

before and with the consideration made in Section 3.2.1, a lens with a longer focal length<br />

is needed to yield the desired field of view. In this case a 25mm focal length lens is used.
