Objective
Automatic surface inspection systems have been and are the subject of important developments, due to the ever-increasing requirements for higher production quality and better process controls. Only recently, these systems have reached a level of performance high enough to allow their use routinely, with some success, on different manufacturing lines ranging from pickling lines, through hot-dip galvanising lines to tin plate lines. The project intends to develop and to test, on-line, a surface inspection system for hot-rolled plates after the levelling process. The bottom side should be inspected over a limited width of about 1meter. The goal is to detect, automatically, periodic defects in order to react more quickly on the process by, for example, grinding levelling rolls or, by changing the work rolls. In addition to this, the project will try to detect typical random defects like shells and longitudinal or transversal cracks
