Prototype vision-based system for the supervision of the glass melting process: Implementation for industrial environment

Abstract

In the article we present an implementation of the system for automatic calculation of relevant descriptors of the glass melting process from the image of the glass surface. The purpose of the system is an automatic analysis of the process course in real time and providing information about batch amount if different zones of the furnace, the symmetry of batch distribution and the symmetry of temperature distribution. The system has been developed in Matlab and implemented with consideration of industrial requirements.
