Abstract

The aim of this study is to construct a machine vision monitoring system for an automatic visual inspection of weld joint in steel structure. An image processing algorithm for a visual weld defects detection on weld bead is developed using the intensity image. An optic system for getting four intensity images was set as a fixed camera position and four different illumination directions. The input images were thresholded and segmented after a suitable preprocessing and the features of each region were defined and calculated. The features were used in the detection and the classification of the visual weld defects. It is confirmed that the developed algorithm can detect weld defects that could not be detected by previously developed techniques. The recognized results were evaluated and compared to expert inspectors' results.

본 논문에서는 강구조물의 제작 및 시공에서 용접이음부의 고품질을 확보하기 위하여 강구조물 용접이음부 외부결함의 자동검출에 관한 화상처리 알고리즘을 개발한다. 개발 알고리즘은 광학계의 적절한 배치에 의해 얻어지는 4매의 입력화상을 이용하여 기존의 기법에서 검출할 수 없었던 용접이음부 외부결함을 검출할 수 있음을 보인다. 용접 외부결함이 존재하는 시험편을 제작하고 실험을 통하여 개발 알고리즘의 유용성을 확인하였다. 또한 검출된 용접외부결함의 분류 결과를 육안검사 결과와 비교하였다.
