Purpose – This paper aim to build an information fusion model that can predict the bottom shape of welding groove for better welding quality control. Arc sensor is widely used in seam tracking due to its simplicity and good accessibility, but it heavily relies on the bottom shape of the...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a modified welding image feature extraction algorithm for rotating arc narrow gap metal active-gas welding (MAG) welding, which is significant for improving the accuracy and reliability of the welding process. Design/methodology/approach An...
