The automatic inspection of quality in fruits is becoming of paramount importance in order to decrease production costs and increase quality standards. Computer vision techniques are used in fruit industry for fruit grading, sorting, and defect detection. In this chapter, we review recent approaches for automatic inspection of quality in fruits using computer vision techniques. Particularly, we...

High signal to noise ratio is important within non-destructive testing. To achieve automatic inspection, including automatic evaluation, it is even more important. Infrared thermography is a suitable method for automatic inspection. One drawback with thermography of metallic structures is that due to shiny surfaces the reflectance is high and the signal to noise ratio will be low. This paper pr...

The new production has to undertake a continuous quality improvement due to its major economic involvement; the consequence consists in high performances in the quality assurance. Therefore the author of this work wants to present some concerns in the automatic dimensional inspection systems field. The new production has to undertake a continuous quality improvement due to its major economic in...

This paper presents current and future uses of Differential Satellite Navigation Systems in Sierra Research’s Automatic Flight Inspection Systems (AFIS). The purpose of an Automatic Flight Inspection System is to inspect and calibrate ground-based aircraft navigation and landing aids. In Sierra’s inertial-based flight inspection system, a square root Kalman filter estimates the navigation error...

In this work we present an scalable ultrasound data processing architecture, developed by INTERLAB Ingeniería Electrónica y de Control SA with the requirements of modern ultrasound inspection systems in mind. The multi-channel processing architecture presented herein has been successfully applied to the development of a variety of industrial ultrasonic inspection systems, ranging from 5-channel...
