Method and system for machine determining wire contact insertion

An apparatus that comprises:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory that comprises computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
• acquire at least one image of a connector having a plurality of wire contact insertion holes;
• identify a wire contact within a wire contact insertion hole of the plurality of wire contact insertion holes based on the at least one image;
• obtain a wire contact insertion hole mask for a correct wire contact insertion hole;
• adjust the wire contact insertion hole mask for the correct wire contact insertion hole;
• apply adaptive thresholding to detect the wire contact within the correct wire contact insertion hole;
• obtain a wire contact radius by obtaining a smallest circle that encircles the wire contact within the correct wire contact insertion hole;
• determine that the wire contact radius satisfies a wire contact radius threshold to establish that the wire contact is fully inserted into the correct wire contact insertion hole;
• and
• provide feedback that indicates that the wire contact is inserted into the correct wire contact insertion hole.

A method comprising:

• acquiring images, from at least two different viewing angles, of a connector comprising a plurality of wire contact insertion holes;
• inserting a wire contact into a wire contact insertion hole of the wire contact insertion holes;
• identifying a wire contact within a wire contact insertion hole of the plurality of wire contact insertion holes based on the;
• determining that the wire contact insertion hole is a correct wire contact insertion hole;
• determining, using triangulation between the images from the at least two different viewing angles, a depth into which the wire contact is inserted into the correct wire contact insertion hole is at least a threshold depth;
• and
• providing feedback indicating that the wire contact is inserted into the correct wire contact insertion hole.
