Automatic inspection of aeronautic components

Industrial processes are costly in terms of time, money and customer satisfaction. The global economic pressures have gradually led businesses to improve these processes to become more competitive. As a result, the demand of intelligent visual inspection systems aimed at ensuring the high quality in production lines is increasing. In this paper, we present a computer vision system that, using only images, is able to address two main problems: (i) model checking: automatically check whether a component meets given specifications or rules, (ii) visual inspection: defect inspection on irregular surfaces, in particular, decolourization and scratches detection. In the experimental results, we show the effectiveness of our system and the readiness of such technologies for their integration in industrial processes. © 2017, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg
