Abstract :
Segregation in steel cast products is an internal defect that can be very harmful when slabs are rolled to thick plate. Several tools of segregation measurement have been developed in previous works. In this work it is presented an automatic tool based on image processing which allows both automatic measurement of segregation and automatic detection and measurement of cracks in steel slabs. This tool has been called MESEG
