This paper introduces a soldering defect inspection system for a special integrated circuit board aided by the computer vision. Space occluder is fixed on this special integrated circuit board, which makes the light blocked from the CCD camera to the chip pins to be inspected. This system can inspect the light blocked soldering defects of the chip pins through the structure design of hardware system and the software system. It is a cheap but automatic soldering defect inspecting system, and can do the soldering defect detection instead of manual visual inspection, and improve the detection speed and stability.
