Objective

The aim of this research project is to enhance performance of automatic strip inspection equipment for continuous steel strip mills by improving the sensitivity of image acquisition devices, the accuracy and precision of detection modules, and the reliability of recognition modules in order to reduce confusion ratios and increase long term stability. A common database of defects will be established and used to test new algorithms.
