An Automatic Optical Sensor for Vessels and Fibbers Quality Inspection in Pulp Production
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wood quality assessment is an important issue in the pulp and paper industry. In this paper an automatic visual inspection system for wood structural quality measurement is described. To improve statistical image segmentation a new logarithm based global contrast enhancement technique is described. Region identification and reconstruction is performed based on local morphological operators with constrained merge operations. A measurement technique, build-up upon a constrained optimisation problem, is described for fibber wall width computation. The method proves computational efficiency. The described inspection system uses only two control parameters.

Automatic Detection and Localization of Surface Cracks in Continuously Cast Hot Steel Slabs Using Digital Image Analysis Techniques
Quality inspection is an indispensable part of modern industrial manufacturing. Steel as a major industry requires constant surveillance and supervision through its various stages of production. Continuous casting is a critical step in the steel manufacturing process in which molten steel is solidified into a semi-finished product called slab. Once the slab is released from the casting unit, th...

Measurement of stress transients generated by a 400ns pulsed HF laser in an infrared fluoride glass fiber has been made using fast time – response piezoelectric film transducer. Acoustic signals up to 12 mV with frequencies ranging in megahertz generated by 21 mJ laser pulse when passed through the fiber axis in the linear region. It is shown that useful information such as onset of non - linea...
متن کاملOptimal Process Adjustment under Inspection Errors Considering the Cycle Time of Production
Process adjustment, also known as process targeting, is one of the classical problems in the field of quality control and production economics. In the process adjustment problem, it is assumed that process parameters are variables and the aim is to determine these parameters such that certain economic criteria are optimally satisfied. The aim of this paper is to determine the optimal process ad...
