Summary :

The defects in the cold rolled strips have textural characteristics, which are nonuniform due to its irregularities and deformities in geometrical appearance. In order to handle the textural characteristics of images with defects, this paper proposes a surface inspection method based on textural feature extraction using the wavelet transform. The wavelet transform is employed to extract local features from textural images with defects both in the frequency and in the spatial domain. To extract features effectively, an adaptive wavelet packet scheme is developed, in which the optimum number of features are produced automatically through subband coding gain. The energies for all subbands of the optimal quadtree of the adaptive wavelet packet algorithm and four entropy features in the level one LL subband, which correspond to the local features in the spatial domain, are extracted. A neural network is used to classify the defects of these features. Experiments with real image data show good training and generalization performances of the proposed method.
