Machine vision technology

characterized by its non-contact

high-precision

and automated features

has been widely applied in aerospace assembly. This paper reviews the current status of machine vision technology in aerospace assembly from the perspectives of visual measurement

visual guidance

and visual inspection. Visual measurement

through the acquisition of image information of components

realizes pose measurement

shape and size inspection

as well as hole position accuracy control

thereby enhancing assembly precision and reducing assembly errors. Visual guidance

through image analysis

accurately determines the relative pose of assembly robots or other equipment

thus improving the level of automation. Visual inspection is used to identify problems such as misfitting

overgrowth

and assembly damage during the assembly process to ensure the quality of the final product. In the future of aerospace assembly

machine vision technology will be integrated with other sensors and artificial intelligence techniques to build digital measurement systems

further enhancing the efficiency and precision of assembly.
