	%X In this study, we developed an algorithm for detecting
seam cracks in a steel plate. Seam cracks are generated in the edge
region of a steel plate. We used the Gabor filter and an adaptive double
threshold method to detect them. To reduce the number of pseudo
defects, features based on the shape of seam cracks were used. To
evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we tested 989
images with seam cracks and 9470 defect-free images. Experimental
results show that the proposed algorithm is suitable for detecting seam
cracks. However, it should be improved to increase the true positive
rate.
