Research of Recognition Method for Surface Defects of Hot-Rolled Round Steel Based on Image Processing

The surface defects is an important factor affecting the quality of hot-rolled round steel, so the recognition of surface defects plays a very important role in the daily usage of the hot-rolled round steel. This paper aims to bring forward an appropriate method to find out the surface defects of the hot-rolled round steel under the help of Matlab software. First of all, the image edge of the round steel was detected, and the image was segmented. Secondly, the segmented image may appear bended, so it would be straightened to make the surface defects recognition easy. The third step is to eliminate image noise. Finally the processed image was analyzed and the appropriate recognition method was figured out. The results show that the method proposed in this paper is effective and accurate.
