Rapid Location of LED Die Array Based on Cross Correlation in Frequency Domain

A rapid template matching algorithm is used to locate l-emitting d (LED) die array on wafer planes in vision-based LED sorting or die-bonding system, the image of LED die array is first converted to binary image and is pre-processed through morphological operations such as dilation and erosion, and the cross correlation operation between LED die templatae and wafer image in frequency domain is implemented by using fast Fourier transform(FFT), and the pixel coordinates of all LED dies on the wafer plane can be determined at one time using the cross correlation in frequency domain (CCFD) instead of in spacial domain. Experimental results of LED die array measurement to a large-diameter LED wafer show that detection efficiency is far higher than conventional normalized cross-correlation(NCC) algorithm, and is only half of consumed time to compare with the sequential similarity detection algorithm(SSDA), the proposed CCFD algorithm can be used for rapid LED die array location in vision-baesd LED sorting or die-bonding machines.
