Abstract

An electrode plate detection apparatus, method and system are disclosed. The electrode plate detection apparatus includes a detection module and a first image acquisition module. The first image acquisition module is configured to acquire images of different coating regions on an electrode plate, and send the images of the different coating regions to the detection module. The detection module is configured to detect the electrode plate according to the images of the different coating regions. As the first image acquisition module can be configured to implement the acquisition of the images of the different coating regions on the electrode plate, compared with the need to use different image acquisition modules for different coating regions, the number of the image acquisition modules can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the electrode plate detection apparatus.
