Abstract
One of many applications of vision systems is quality control. Quality control in ceramic
tile manufacturing is hard, labor-intensive operation. Ceramic tiles classification depends on three
main factors color analysis, dimension verification, and surface defects. Our work introduces
enhanced algorithms to detect the color and surface defects in the fired ceramic tiles using
principles of image processing analysis. This algorithm assumed as a visual inspection system that
helps in the sorting operation before packing operation to improve the homogeneity of batches
received by costumer.
