scholarly journals Metallic Surface Coating Defect Detection Using Firefly Based Adaptive Thresholding and Level Set Method

An innovative approach is introduced to detect surface defects on titanium coated steel surfaces with varied size through the use of image processing techniques. This paper provides techniques which are useful to discover numerous kinds of surface defects present on coating surface. For defect detection, Firefly Algorithm (FA) based adaptive thresholding is proposed and is applied for the gray scale images. The FA ensuing nature inspired algorithm utilized expansively in support of determining various optimization problems and from the reconstructed image contours are extracted using level set method, the predictable images not including textures besides defects contours be compassed. The morphological post processing removes the noise in image and makes defects more distinguishable from the background. The speculative result persists in utilizing synchronous images of metal surface and shows that the proposed method can efficiently segment surface defects and obtain better performance than existing methods.

Abstract Automatically detecting surface defects from images is an essential capability in manufacturing applications. Traditional image processing techniques were useful in solving a specific class of problems. However, these techniques were unable to handle noise, variations in lighting conditions, and background with complex textures. Increasingly deep learning is being explored to automate defect detection. This survey paper presents three different ways of classifying various efforts. These are based on defect detection context, learning techniques, and defect localization and classification method. The existing literature is classified using this methodology. The paper also identifies future research directions based on the trends in the deep learning area.

The quality of product of manufacturing industries depends on dimension accurately and surface roughness quality. There are many types of surface defects and levels of surface roughness quality. Ironing process is one type of metal forming process, which aims to reduce the wall thickness of the cup-shaped or pipes products, thus increasing the height of the wall. Manually surface inspection procedures are very inadequate to ensure the surface in guaranteed quality. To ensure strict requirements of customers, the surface defect inspection based on image processing techniques has been found to be very effective and popular over the last two decades. The paper has been reviewed some papers based on image processing for defect detection. It has been tried to find some alternatives of useful methods for product surface defect detection of ironing process.

The boundary element method and the level set method can be used in order to solve the inverse problem for electric field. In this approach the adjoint equation arises in each iteration step. Results of the numerical calculations show that the boundary element method can be applied successfully to obtain approximate solution of the adjoint equation. The proposed solution algorithm is initialized by using topological sensitivity analysis. Shape derivatives and material derivatives have been incorporated with the level set method to investigate shape optimization problems. The shape derivative measures the sensitivity of boundary perturbations. The coupled algorithm is a relatively new procedure to overcome this problem. Experimental results have demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed approach to achieve the solution of the inverse problem.

The article presents an application to the topology optimization in electrical impedance tomography using the level set method. The level set function is based on shape and topology optimization for areas with partly continuous conductivities. The finite element method has been used to solve the forward problem. The proposed algorithm is initialized using topological sensitivity analysis. Shape derivative and material derivative have been incorporated with the level set method to investigate shape optimization problems. The coupled algorithm is a relatively new procedure to overcome this problem. Using the line measurement model is very useful to solve the inverse problem in the copper-mine ceiling and the flood embankment.
