Claim 14:
15. A vision inspection system comprising:
a sorting platform having an upper surface supporting parts for inspection;
an inspection station positioned adjacent the sorting platform, the inspection station including an imaging device to image the parts in a field of view above the upper surface; and
a vision inspection controller receiving images from the imaging device, the vision inspection controller including an image histogram tool pre-processing the images to improve contrast of the images, the image histogram tool generates a histogram, the image histogram tool computes a cumulative distribution function based on the histogram, the image histogram tool calculates enhanced lightness values of the images based on the cumulative distribution function to generate enhanced images that are different from the images received from the imaging device, the vision inspection controller including a shape recognition tool processing the enhanced images, which are different from the images received from the imaging device, based on an image analysis module modeled corresponding to the enhanced images to determine inspection results for each of the parts, the vision inspection controller having an artificial intelligence learning module operated to customize and configure the image analysis model based on the enhanced images.
