Abstract:In this paper, the problem of automatic visual inspection of textured surfaces is addressed. In particular, a technique for crack detection on both regularly and randomly textured images is presented. The technique is based on a new measure of texture anisotropy that allows an easy discrimination between defect pixels and defect-free ones. This technique was used to detect cracks on granite slabs. The reported results confirm its effectiveness
