Side Surface and Bottom Surface Inspection of Bottles Using Image Processing

Abstract: inspecting the empty glass bottles in food manufacturing or in beverage industries is very essential. The cracks in bottles may spoil the contents due to the creation of moisturizing effect inside the bottle. It is necessary to detect such cracks in the bottle. Manual inspection system detects these cracks, which will be inaccurate and time consuming. To overcome this problem many automatic crack detection algorithms are developed. This paper aims at developing empty bottle inspection system using image processing. The empty bottles are tested for defects automatically. The methods developed will detect the cracks on the side surface and bottom surface of the bottle. The image of the defected bottle acquired undergoes pre-processing such as gray scale conversion, noise removal and edge detection. This pre-processed image is analysed for the presence of cracks on the bottles. Adaptive thresholding followed by Raster scan method is used for the analysis of presence of cracks. Algorithms are developed using python which runs on Raspberry pi processor.
