9、rganization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the

10、 respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of inf

11、ormation technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft Internat

12、ional Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. In exceptional circumstances, when the joint technical committee has collected dat

13、a of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard (“state of the art”, for example) it may decide to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely informative in nature and shall be subject to review every five years in the same manner as an Intern

14、ational Standard. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC TR 29158 was prepared jointly by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC

15、JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 31, Automatic identification and data capture techniques. ISO/IEC TR 29158:2011(E) ISO/IEC 2011 All rights reserved vIntroduction Direct Part Marking (DPM) is a technology whereby, generally, an item is physically altered to produce two different surfac

16、e conditions. This alteration can be accomplished by various means including, but not limited to, dot peen, laser, ink jet, and electro-chemical etch. The area of the alteration is called “the mark”. The area that includes the mark and background as a whole, when containing a pattern defined by a ba

17、r code symbology specification, is called “a symbol”. When light illuminates a symbol, it reflects differently depending on whether it impinges on the background of the part or on the physical alteration. In most non-DPM bar code scanning environments, light is reflected off a smooth surface that ha

18、s been coloured to produce two different diffuse reflected states. The DPM environment generally does not fit this model because the two different reflected states depend on at least one of the states having material oriented to the lighting such that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of

19、reflection. Sometimes the material so oriented produces a specular (mirror-like) reflectance that results in a signal that is orders of magnitude greater than the signal from diffuse reflectance. In addition, from the scanner point-of-view, some marking and printing methods generate dots and are not

20、 capable of producing smooth lines. Current specifications for matrix symbologies and two-dimensional print quality are not exactly suited to reading situations that have either specular reflection or unconnected dots or both. This is intended to act as a bridge between the existing specifications a

21、nd the DPM environment in order to provide a standardized image-based measurement method for DPM that is predictive of scanner performance. As with all symbology and quality standards, it is the responsibility of the applicator to define the appropriate parameters of this guideline for use in conjun

22、ction with a particular application. TECHNICAL REPORT ISO/IEC TR 29158:2011(E) ISO/IEC 2011 All rights reserved 1Information technology Automatic identification and data capture techniques Direct Part Mark (DPM) Quality Guideline 1 Scope This Technical Report is an engineering document intended for

23、verifier manufacturers and application specification developers. This Technical Report describes modifications which are to be considered in conjunction with the symbol quality methodology defined in ISO/IEC 15415 and a symbology specification. It defines alternative illumination conditions, some ne

24、w terms and parameters, modifications to the measurement and grading of certain parameters, and the reporting of the grading results. This Technical Report was developed to assess the symbol quality of direct marked parts, where the mark is applied directly to the surface of the item and the reading

25、 device is a two-dimensional imager. When application specifications allow, this method may also be applied to symbols produced by other methods. This is appropriate when direct part marked (DPM) symbols and non-DPM symbols are being scanned in the same scanning environment. The symbol grade is repo

26、rted as a DPM grade rather than as an ISO/IEC 15415 grade. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

35、in the symbology and print quality specifications apply except for: - A different method for setting the image contrast. - A different method for creating the binary image. - A new method for choosing the aperture size. - An image pre-process methodology for joining disconnected modules in a symbol.

36、 - A different process for determining the Modulation and Reflectance Margin parameter renamed Cell Modulation. - A different process for determining the Symbol Contrast parameter which has been renamed Cell Contrast. - A difference process for computing Fixed Pattern Damage - A new parameter called

37、 Minimum Reflectance. This guideline explains how to both specify and report quality grades in a manner complementary to, yet distinct from, the method in ISO/IEC 15415. 5.2 Lighting This guideline recommends three specific lighting environments consisting of two forms of diffuse lighting (non-direc

38、tional): - diffuse on-axis illumination uses a diffuse light source illuminating the symbol nominally perpendicular to its surface (nominally parallel to the optical axis of the camera). - diffuse off-axis illumination uses light from an array of LEDs reflected from the inside of a diffusely reflect

39、ing surface of a hemisphere, with the symbol at its centre, to provide even incident illumination from all directions. - Directional illumination is oriented at a low angle (approximately 30 degrees) to the mark surface. 6 Obtaining the image 6.1 Orientation of the symbol to the camera 6.1.1 Camera

40、position The camera is positioned such that the plane of the image sensor is parallel to the plane of the symbol area. 6.1.2 Orienting the symbol The part is placed such that the symbol is in the centre of the field of view and oriented so that the horizontal lines in the symbol are parallel with a

41、line formed by the edge of the image sensor to within +/- 5 degrees. ISO/IEC TR 29158:2011(E) 4 ISO/IEC 2011 All rights reserved6.2 Lighting Two lighting environments each with sub-options are defined in this document. The defined lighting environments are denoted in the reported grade using the for

42、mat defined in ISO/IEC 15415 using the angle specifier with a combination of numbers and letters as defined below. Note: This does not limit the prerogative of an Application Specification to choose different lighting environments based on application requirements. Alternate lighting environments sh

43、ould include specifiers consistent with the format of those below which can be used for communicating quality requirements and quality grades. 6.2.1 Diffuse perpendicular (on-axis/bright field) (90) A flat diffusing material is oriented such that the plane of the material is parallel to the plane of

44、 the symbol area. The symbol is uniformly illuminated with diffuse light incident at 90 +/- 15 degrees relative to the optical axis to the plane of the symbol. The angle specifier shall be 90 to denote this lighting environment. 6.2.2 Diffuse off-axis (D) A diffusely reflecting dome is illuminated f

45、rom below so that the reflected light falls non-directionally on the part and does not cast defined shadows. This is commonly used for reading curved parts. The angle specifier shall be D. 6.2.3 Low angle, four direction (30Q) Light is aimed at the part at an angle of 30 +/- 3 degrees from the plane

46、 of the surface of the symbol from four sides such that the lines describing the centre of the beams from opposing pairs of lights are co-planar and the planes at right angles to each other. One lighting plane is aligned to be parallel to the line formed by a horizontal edge of the image sensor to w

47、ithin +/- 5 degrees. The lighting shall illuminate the entire symbol area with uniform energy. The angle specifier shall be 30Q. 6.2.4 Low angle, two direction (30T) Light is aimed at the part at an angle of 30 +/- 3 degrees from two sides. The light may be incident from either of the two possible o

48、rientations with respect to the symbol. The lighting plane is aligned to be parallel to the line formed by one edge of the image sensor to within +/- 5 degrees. The lighting shall illuminate the entire symbol area with uniform energy. The angle specifier shall be 30T. 6.2.5 Low angle, one direction

49、(30S) Light is aimed at the part at an angle of 30 +/- 3 degrees from one side. The light may be incident from any of the four possible orientations with respect to the symbol. The plane perpendicular to the symbol surface containing the centre of the beam is aligned to be parallel to the line formed by one edge of the image sensor to within +/- 5 degrees. The lighting shall illuminate the entire symbol area with uniform energy. The angle specifier shall be 30S. 6.3 Image focus The camera is adjusted such that the s
