Journal Article
Lee, J. R., Smith, M. L., Smith, L. N., & Midha, P. S. (2005). Robust and efficient automated detection of tooling defects in polished stone. Computers in Industry, 56(8-9), 787-801. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compind.2005.05.006

The automated detection of process-induced defects such as tooling marks is a common and important problem in machine vision. Such defects are often distinguishable from natural flaws and other features by their geometric form, for example their circ...
