Abstract

The paper offers a solution to the problem of detecting and recognizing surface defects in welded joints that appear during tungsten inert gas welding of metal edges. This problem belongs to the machine vision. Welding of stainless-steel edges is carried out automatically on the pipe production line. Therefore, frames of video sequences are investigated. Images of some welding defects are shown in the paper. An algorithm proposed by the authors is used to detect welding defects in the video sequence frames, the efficiency of which has been confirmed experimentally. The problem solution of welding defects recognition is based on the use of traditional machine learning methods: support vector machine and artificial neural network. To build classification models, a labeled dataset containing automatically extracted texture features from the areas of welding defects detected in the video sequences was created. An analysis was performed to identify the strength of the correlation of texture features between each other and the dependent variable in the dataset for dimensionality reduction of the feature vector. The models were trained and tested on datasets with different numbers of features. The quality of the classification models was evaluated based on the accuracy metric values. The best results were achieved by the classifier built using the support vector machine with a chi-square kernel on a training sample with two features. The build models allow automatic recognition of such welding defects as lack of fusion and metal oxidation. The computational experiments with real video sequences obtained with a digital camera confirmed the possibility of using the proposed solution for recognizing surface welding defects in the process of manufacturing stainless steel pipes.
