Defect Detection Tools - Surface Flaw

The Surface Flaw Defect Detection Tool is used to detect small flaws based upon pixel intensity variations. This tool is designed for detecting flaws such as scratches, nicks, tears, stains or chips, on greyscale or color images.

The Surface Flaw Defect Detection Tool is designed to detect areas of local intensity and color variations. The tool uses an internal filtering operation to first highlight edges and areas with sudden color or greyscale variations, before applying blob analysis to determine whether or not flaws are present. The tool is best suited to applications where a part should have a uniform area to be inspected, such that any sudden change in intensity will be classified as a defect.

If necessary, the Surface Flaw tool also provides a built-in image mask, to highlight areas of the image for inspection, while excluding other areas.
