Abstract

Real-time monitoring of the laser-based applications is becoming a main issue for quality analysis in the steel manufacturing industry. The paper suggests a solution achieving an automated real-time quality inspection in laser welding applications. A composite system composed of soft computing and traditional techniques has been considered for its positive impact on the reduced computation compared with more traditional approaches.
