Title
Automated vision based detection of blistering on metal surface: For robot
Abstract
This work proposes a framework for automated detection of blistering defects on metal surface. The framework takes an image as input, converts it to Histogram of Oriented Gradient based representation to capture contour information. Next, it performs search for the nearest neighbour in a database of existing example images. Label of the nearest neighbour is taken to be label (or result of analysis) of the query image. While being simple, the method has an advantage of being effective and efficient. It is demonstrated through experiments that contour is very helpful in detection of blistering defects on metal surface. Besides, not requiring significant resources for pre-processing, it is closer to real time processing and hence makes it possible for deployment to inspection robots. The method has also demonstrated state of the art performance on a challenging dataset for metal surface created by experienced engineers in industry.
