Abstract

In case of manufacturing industries, quality inspection plays very important role. This process can be performed manually. But manual inspection can lead to number of errors. It is a risky process. It thoroughly depends on the patience of inspector. Therefore to automate the industrial inspection nowadays image enhancement techniques are being rapidly used. In quality inspection all dimensions of mechanical object are inspected. When machine products are manufactured, defect detection is also performed in the process of quality inspection. In case of metal surface which is having high reflection coefficient, defect detection becomes difficult. This reflection can act as a noise in image. Because of this reflection in image edge detection cannot be performed easily. Hence for processes like edge detection and defect detection, reflection reduction is highly required. The goal of proposed method is to design a right system for quality inspection to beat problem of reflection from metal body. In proposed algorithm super resolution technique is used for reduction of reflection. Wavelet transform is used to perform hard thresholding and soft thresholding. Quality evaluation is performed with the help of parameters like PSNR, MSE, SSIM and correlation.
