X-ray inspection is a traditional non-destructive testing method used to thoroughly test industrial parts, such as aluminum castings in the automotive sector. Safety specifications and quality control task are the main focus of the inspection process. Digital image processing, computational intelligence and hardware progress allowed automating this task. While the detection of true defects is t...
متن کاملApplication of a new image segmentation method to detection of defects in castings
X-ray-based inspection technique is well applied to identification and evaluation of internal defects in castings, such as cracks, porosities, and foreign inclusions. Combining X-ray inspection with digital image processing and automatic image assessment is now the preferred approach for the continuous inspection of castings. However, in practical application, the quality of the X-ray image is ...
متن کاملAutomatic 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...
متن کاملAutomated Defect Detection in Aluminium Castings and Welds Using Neuro-fuzzy Classifiers
In this paper we present the results obtained recently by inspecting castings and welds using NeuroFuzzy classifiers. The proposed approach to detecting defects follows a general pattern recognition scheme based on three steps: segmentation, feature extraction and classification. In the first step (segmentation), potential defects are segmented using an edge detector. In the second step (featur...
