A Weighted Variance Approach for Uncertainty Quantification in High Quality Steel Rolling

Abstract

This paper proposes a computer vision framework aimed to segment hot steel sections and contribute to rolling precision. The steel section dimensions are calculated for the purposes of automating a high temperature rolling process. A structured forest algorithm along with the developed steel bar edge detection and regression algorithms extract the edges of the high temperature bars in optical videos captured by a GoPro camera. To quantify the impact of noises that affect the segmentation process and the final diameter measurements, a weighted variance is calculated, providing a level of trust in the measurements. The results show an accuracy which is in line with the rolling standards, i.e. with a root mean square error less than 2.5 mm.
