High Accurate Counting of Steel Rebar with Defected Tips

The product quality in the iron and steel industry is highly important.From the casting process to bundling, a large amount of energy is used at each step of the production.In the present study, the counting of steel rebar bundles located in the storage area has been taken into account.When it is necessary to recount the rebar in a bundle, depending on the number of rebar in the bundle, either a staff is assigned to count or the bundle is moved for weighting again.Both of them are time and energy-consuming solutions.In the present study, an algorithm is developed to count the rebar in a bundle by taking a photograph of rebar tips.Although the existence of defects such as deformed cutting, steel rib features, lack of painting, and also insufficient lighting of the storage area, the proposed algorithm is able to give highly accurate results.
