Abstract
The paper suggests ways to determine the deviations of technological process of vacuum arc remelting. Video cameras were installed in the vacuum arc furnace to monitor the refining process. Typically, the automated control system of remelting measure only the desired quantities for direct control, by which in some cases it is impossible to determine the occurrence of specific abnormal conditions of melting. The steelmaker can detect and eliminate them with the usage of the images from the camera. The resulting image is divided into shots. Each shot is a matrix composed of pixels. Using the amount of pixels of the image the specific abnormal remelting modes can be determined. The authors have proposed video processing algorithms to detect the abnormal melting modes.
