The Edge Detecting Methods in Ceramic Tiles Defects Detection

The requirements of modern manufacturing industry caused the increase of implementation of the automated systems. Their main aim is to improve visual inspection and quality control. In the ceramic tiles industry the quality control is performed in real time conditions so that tiles are classified and removed if they have defects in color, dimension or on the surface. The need for defect detecting methods occurred. Image processing methods has already been applied in recognizing defect on images. In that purpose some methods for detecting edges of images are described in this work. These methods were applied on images of ceramic tiles with defect in color and surface
