The aim of the project is to discriminate between 1300 and 1600 cc engines which are manufactured by same machinery but with different processes and to send the discriminating signal to the separating machinery. In Tofas factory the 1300 and 1600 cc engines are processed on the same production line. On the production line, the engines go through various manipulations, and the cylinder diameter size of the engines increase by approximately 1 mm during each of these manipulations. Two main problems are encountered on the production line. First, wrong engine type could be put on the line, second, an right type of engine, but has not gone through the planned manipulation could be handled. Currently implemented system eliminates the difference between these two types of engines by a variation in the design of the production line and overcomes this problem. The study realized in this project involves with discrimination of engine types by taking images over the engines and calculation of cylinder diameters. The implemented algorithm is able to distinguish between 1 mm differences between the cylinder diameters. The developed software was transferred to a image processing system which depends on TMSC20 algorithm in order to enable the application of the system in real-time.
