This paper presents a method of acquisition and analysis of three-dimensional images in the task of automatic location and evaluation of defects on the surface of ceramic tiles. It presents a brief description of selected defects appearing on the sur...
The low accuracy of detection algorithms is one impediment in detecting ceramic tile’s surface defects online utilizing intelligent detection instead of human inspection. The purpose of this paper is to present a CNFA for resolving the obstacle...
Several authors have studied construction defects, but no studies were found implementing best practices and control strategies through the implementation of continuous improvement projects. This article shows a procedure based on Continuous Improvem...
Traditional manual visual detection methods are inefficient, subjective, and costly, making them prone to false and missed detections. Deep-learning-based defect detection identifies the types of defects and pinpoints their locations. By employing th...
Defect detection and classification on the final products are necessary for the manufacturers to ensure the quality of the final product before delivering it to the end customers. With rapid changes in manufacturing technologies, most of the companie...
Cracks are pathologies whose appearance in ceramic tiles can cause various damages due to the coating system losing water tightness and impermeability functions. Besides, the detachment of a ceramic plate, exposing the building structure, can still r...
When a building façade does not meet its performance requirements, the integrity and safety of the structure may be compromised, resulting in the reduction of the building’s service life. Ceramic tiles are a commonly applied cladding sol...
This paper presents a novel, real-time defect detection system, based on a best-fit polynomial interpolation, that inspects the conditions of outer surfaces. The defect detection system is an enhanced feature extraction method that employs this techn...
With the increasing demand for sustainable and cost-effective alternatives in the construction industry, polymer composites have emerged as a promising solution. This study focuses on the development of innovative composite tiles using Linear Low-Den...
Ceramic tiles classified as non-biodegradable are made from fired clay, silica, and other natural materials for several construction applications. Waste ceramic tiles (WCTs) are produced from several sources, including manufacturing defects; surplus,...
Corrosion effects in deposit environments (soil, waste pit, etc.), together with the glaze adherence and fit, could cause severe deterioration accompanied by different types of defects or growth of corrosion products. The aim of this work was to iden...
We propose a simple but effective convolutional neural network to learn the similarities between closely related raw pixel images for feature representation extraction and classification through the initialization of convolutional kernels from learne...
Façades, as the most external building envelope component, are subject to different ex-ternal environmental loads, such as: Temperature, precipitation, damp, and wind. Therefore, the contribution of environmental actions to the occurrence of defects...
There is an urgent need to develop non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for infrastructure facilities and residences, etc., where human lives are at stake, to prevent collapse due to aging or natural disasters such as earthquakes before they occur....
