Abstract :There are many techniques for visual inspection. Four of them are (1) Image subtraction, (2) Dimensional verification, (3) Syntactic approach and, (4) Feature Matching [1]. In Feature Matching or Template Matching method, the image to be inspected is scanned and the required features are extracted. Then these features are compared with those defined for the perfect pattern. This method greatly compresses the image data for storage and reduces the sensitivity of the input intensity data. A number of predefined binary templates can be used to extract the necessary features for images to be inspected. There are 28 different 3x3 templates which can be used for this purpose. For many applications some of this mask may be enough to use. The aim of this study is to help to choose an adequate set of masks among the set of all possible 3x3 masks.
