Abstract:
The analysis of the quality of particulate materials is of great importance for a variety of research and industrial applications. Most image-based methods rely on the segmentation of the image to measure the particles and aggregate their characteristics. However, the segmentation of particulate materials can be severely affected when the setup is not controlled. For instance, when there are device errors, changes in the light conditions, or when the camera gets dirty because of the dust or a similar substance. All of these circumstances are common in industrial setups, like the one studied in this paper. This work presents a framework for quality estimation based on image processing algorithms that avoids segmentation. The considered application scenario is the online quality control of the production of Oriented Strand Boards (OSB), a type of wood panel frequently used in construction and manufacturing industries. The proposed method quantizes frequency domain into a histogram using a non-parametric method, which is later exploited using computational intelligence to classify the quality of superimposed wood particles deposed on a conveyor belt. The method has been tested using synthetic and real images with different noise conditions. The results illustrate the robustness of the approach and its capability to detect significant quality changes in the wood particles.
