In this article we introduce a visual measurement system intended for an automatic determination of material segregation in steel wires as a feedback quality control. Our system is based on an image processing which represents a non-destructive field in measurement area. Until our automated inspection system has been deployed, the measurement of segregation level was accomplished by a human inspector who represents inexact and subjective evaluation. Moreover our automated classification of individual steel wires is based on a certified official regulation. The mentioned automated classification of wires into pre-defined classes is carried out by a sequence of image processing steps. All these steps are progressively described in this article in-depth.
