What it is
How it works
The PR-1 used binary image pattern recognition to find the position of specific part features in video images. VIEW Engineering's systems used video and laser technologies to perform their functions without touching the parts being examined, and the company's pattern-recognition products were based on correlation-based pattern recognition hardware and software.[1]
Where it fits in the process flow
The PR-1 was used with automated wirebonding machines and wafer probers. It sits in packaging and bonding-related process steps rather than in a general-purpose measurement role.[1]
Applications
The PR-1 was used for automated wirebonding machines and wafer probers.[1]
