The present paper discusses a comparative application of image processing techniques, i.e., Discrete Fourier Transform, K-Means clustering and Artificial Neural Network, for the detection of defects in the industrial context of assembled tires. The used Artificial Neural Network technique is based on Long Short-Term Memory and Fully Connected neural networks. The investigations focus on the monitoring and quality control of defects, which may appear on the external surface of tires after being assembled. Those defects are caused from tires which are not properly assembled to their respective metallic wheel rim, generating deformations and scrapes which are not desired. The proposed image processing techniques are applied on raw high-resolution images, which are acquired by in-line imaging and optical instruments. All the described techniques, i.e., Discrete Fourier Transform, K-Means clustering and Long Short-Term Memory, were able to determine defected and acceptable external tire surfaces. The proposed research is taken in the context of an industrial project which focuses on the development of automated quality control and monitoring methodologies, within the field of Industry 4.0 facilities. The image processing techniques are thus meant to be adopted into production processes, giving a strong support to the in-line quality control phase.
