In fact, uneven temperature during thin steel production makes the steel fracture rate increase sharply. This work proposes a method to recognize a common uneven temperature pattern known as the hot-shoulders pattern. The proposed recognition method is carried out in three steps. Firstly, the infrared image obtained from the steel strip is processed in order to calculate the infrared profiles. Next, each of these profiles is processed in order to determine its shape. Finally, a fuzzy approach is used to determine the membership degree of each profile to the hot-shoulders temperature pattern","PeriodicalId":431033,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence for Measurement Systems and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130014510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
