Electrical companies routinely inspect their overhead lines by helicopter. Current detailed aerial inspection approach uses trained inspectors who fly aboard helicopters to inspect the lines with binoculars and cameras, while recording the data in a logbook. The procedure is performed while the helicopter hovers over and around power lines and structures, creating an element of danger for the p...

Quality inspection of textile products is an important problem for fabric manufacturers. Currently, the quality control of a fabric of width 1.6-2.0m. which moves at a speed of 8-20 m/min is mostly done by human operators. Texture analysis plays an important role in automatic visual inspection of surfaces. There has been a limited number of applications of texture processing techniques to autom...

An efficient measure of the concrete block structure inspection is needed with the increasing demand for concrete blocks. Cracks in the surface of RC member's can be used as a useful measure of quake-proofness of a construction or material fatigue. Specialists used to observe the cracks and experimentally inspect the structures, while applying destructive forces to the blocks. This paper propos...

This work presents a new highly automated artificial vision inspection (AVI) tool for real-time defect detection and classification on circular knitting machines based on the combination of statistical analysis, Image Processing and Radon Transform. The tool (software + hardware) is directly attached to a circular knitting machine and the inspection is performed on-line. The automatic inspectio...

Several issues on automatic inspection of textile fabrics are discussed in this paper. To avoid the intense computation for real time inspection, we suggest a parallel pyramid hardware architecture consisting of several channels with CCD cameras in different resolutions working simultaneously. In inspection algorithms, we use a hierarchy of improved BP neural networks which demonstrate a tree s...

We selected iOS in this study as the App operation system, Objective-C as the programming language, and Oracle as the database to develop an App to inspect controlled substances in patient care units. Using a web-enabled smartphone, pharmacist inspection can be performed on site and the inspection result can be directly recorded into HIS through the Internet, so human error of data translation ...

-Fabric inspection system is important to maintain the quality of fabric. Fabric inspection is carried out manually with human visual inspection for a long time. The work of inspectors is very tedious and consumes time and cost.To reduce the wastage of cost and time, automatic fabric inspection is required. This paper proposes an approach to recognize fabric defects in textile industry for mini...

Resistance welding is an electrothermic process commonly used in Industry for joining sheet metal, particularly steel, in applications such as automobile bodies and chassis assemblies. The method is suitable for partial or total automation, and is very reliable. However, as with any process, problems can occur and inspection is therefore necessary. Although ultrasonic inspection of spot welds h...
