Abstract
This paper discusses a new automated image analysis technique for inspecting and monitoring changes in plastic bumper surfaces during the paint-baking process. This new technique produces excellent performance, and is appropriate for on-line production monitoring as well as laboratory analysis. The objective of this work was to develop an accurate method for determining the paint bake time and temperature at which parts had been treated. This task was accomplished using mathematical morphology to extract differentiating features from samples collected at three magnifications and sending these feature-vectors to a back-propagation neural network for classification.
