Abstract

This paper presents a new special computer vision system to inspect the defects in welding seams of acetylene cans based on X-ray pictures. The system configuration is introduced briefly and basic problems are discussed. A high resolution CCD linear array camera is used for scanning pictures displaied the screen on X-ray image intensifier. We propose several new methods to determine the defect position and representation, to reconstruct the defect boundary, and to extract local features for defect classification. Experimental results show that the proposed methods are effective. The system can distinguish a minimum of l6 decimillimetres defective patterns. Further investigations are suggestedd on more generality of the methods and more reliable stability of the inspection.
