Many factories in Japan are installed with a variety of analog meters. The meters are mainly used to monitor the status of the manufacturing process and detect abnormalities. Therefore, inspectors must visually check meter values and tally the data manually. Our research is to automate this reading process and reduce the burden on inspectors. In this study, we propose a robust automatic reading me...Show More
In many factories in Japan, there are still thousands of analog meters to monitor and control the fabrication environments. Human inspectors must walk around, read the meters, record the values, and input them into the computer for further analysis. This process is prone to human errors. To solve the problem, we may consider to replace all analog meters with digital ones, but this is not practical...Show More
