This proposal is for a joint research project between two NSF              Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers: the Edison                    Welding Institute at Ohio State University and the Measurement and              Control Engineering Center at the University of Tennessee.  The                 joint project which is to be cost shared by both Centers is to                  conduct research on the development of a visual sensory system to               determine quality control factors of a weld.  The study will                    explore ways to improve the visual imaging system now used to                   control the weld bead size and tracking to one that incorporates                the identification and extraction of visual (sensor) descriptive                measurements, which have a strong correlation with the weld pools               desired quality control properties in real time.  At present, no                such system exists and the industrial benefits of such a system                 has significant economic benefits to U.S. industries.                                A woman undergraduate will augment the research by studying                and analyzing the capability of the image processing to assess the              weld quality.                                                                        The Program Manager recommends that Ohio State University be               awarded $22,789 for one (1) year for their part of a joint project              with the University of Tennessee's Industry/University                          Cooperative Research Center for Measurement and Control                         Engineering.  This includes $5,000 from the "Funding for Support                of Women, Minority, and Disabled Engineering Research Assistants"               program.
