Abstract
In this paper, welding pool image processing software is developed to measure the weld shape parameters in different images. Firstly the visual sensing system was established according to the principle of the passive visual image sensing. Next, the image processing and pattern recognition techniques are discussed to get a clear contour of the pool and measure its size. Finally, in order to testify the efficiency of the software, an image of aluminum alloy welding pool is used and validating results indicate these techniques can be applied practically
