Inspections and testing are two of the most commonly performed software quality assurance processes today. Typically, these processes are applied in isolation, which, however, fails to exploit the benefits of systematically combining and integrating them. In consequence, tests are not focused based on early defect detection data. Expected benefits of such process integration include higher defe...

In practice, manufacturing systems are never perfect and may have low quality outputs. Therefore, different decisions such as reprocessing, sale at lower prices or diminishing are made according to industry and market. This paper investigates the importance of supply chain coordination through developing two models in centralized decision-making for an imperfect quality manufacturing system wit...

PubChem is an open repository for molecular structures, their properties and biological activities [1]. The number of deposited structures has been steadily increasing since its creation in 2004. Today, it contains more than 92 million substances (PubChem Substance) with 32 million unique small molecules (PubChem Compound). Consequently, visual inspection of every structure and correction of er...

The garment manufacturing industry involves sequential processes that are subjected to uncontrollable variations. The industry depends on the skill of labour in handling the varieties of fabrics and accessories, machines, as well as complicated sewing operation. Due to these reasons, garment manufacturers have created systems to monitor and to control the quality of the products on a regular ba...

We estimate, using synthetically generated images, the smallest changes in document image quality that can be distinguished reliably and fully automatically by Kanungo's bootstrapping test Kan96]. Six parameters of a physics{based document{image degradation model Bai92] are varied, one at a time: for each, over a range of parameter-value diierences, two sets of synthetic images are generated ps...

Aerial photogrammetry is one of the main methods obtaining geospatial information. After entering the 21st century, aerial photogrammetry technology has fully entered the digital age, and the quality of digital aerial photography results will directly affect the quality and accuracy of results of surveying and mapping .Therefore, it is necessary to inspect the quality of digital aerial photogra...

Physics-Based Vision is a combination of traditional machine vision, material optics and computer graphics. Illumination, optical reflection and image formation are analysed in this new field of research in order to develop more efficient artificial vision systems. This paper focuses on two aspects of physics-based vision: analysis of spatial distribution of reflection as well as polarization b...
