1.INTRODUCTIONProcesses experienced changes in the world economy in the last 20 years have affected the developing countries, with negative effects on their economies due to low scientific and technological level they possess. Panama, as a member country of the sector, does not escape this great reality, with great limitations on high technology, confront serious difficulties to undertake projects and programs within the activities for the development of industrial sector. One of the most important aspects to watch in the industry in Panama, is the lack of funds for investment in research and development projects. The experience of the industrial sectors of developed countries around new or improved products is that their production, are supported by high investments in research projects that aim, bring to market these new or improved products. That is, creating new knowledge from which new applications arise in the industry. 1.1Research and Development in PanamaIn the survey data indicated in research, development and innovation in the private sector in Panama, 52.9% of the industries reported investigations and within these, 54.1% have units responsible for conducting research and development activities, but there a difference of opinion on the part of industry, the research concept. Industries that reported doing some research, only 18.2% make investments in research projects aimed to produce new or significantly improved. Industries according to the declared type of research, we note that the 4.41% perform basic research, applied and experimental 6.35% conducts applied research and experimental, 1.44% done, basic and applied research; 2.81% only makes experimental investigations; 2.53% only conducts investigations and 0.72% applied only performs basic research [18],[19]. Our country will soon join the free trade agreement with the U.S.A. or other countries and thus enter a range of materials and industry must have technology to establish a series of quality control in line with international standards. That is why we propose that optical inspection methods, technology enable the use of non-invasive, i.e., not through contact with the surface is completely clean and samples depending on its constitution can be reused [3], [4], [6], [8], [14], and [15]. Since 2009, I have been conducting research in the field of optical metrology and image processing, developing a model for the evaluation of surface roughness in the paper industry, based on texture analysis using co-occurrence matrix of gray levels [23], [24], [25], [26] industrial sectors. Wherefore are plans to extend the field of application to other materials, laminates specifically metallic and nonmetallic used in Panamenian Industry. Thus, organize and implement a research structure in surface characterization and evaluation of materials in the industrial sector, specifically in the manufacturing sector of plastics, wood, metal and others. This means that conventional methods used in most cases, do not provide sufficient information about the structural and surface quality of the material to be inspected. Therefore, this proposal is to undertake basic and applied research in a topic of border handling the international scientific community, such as the speckle metrology area, in addition to digital image processing. Furthermore, the project will allow the formation of human resources in topic where the whole world is betting, mainly by large profits, at all levels, this implies and Panama cannot be the exception. 2.DESCRIPTION OF PROJECTThis project is part two strategic lines of the National Strategic Plan for Science and Technology in relation to the generation of knowledge, in this case in basic sciences, can be used as a tool to contribute to national development through research groups formally established and concrete results for surface characterization and evaluation of materials using optical metrology and digital image processing. The project also has an impact on the issue of the quality of industrial production, where the “National Strategic Plan for Science and Technology 2010-2014” [27] notes that Panama has traditionally been a technological structure that allow amendments and innovation in equipment and techniques used, which allow the investment recovers in less time, i.e. can improve our industrial weaknesses. 2.1Methodology2.1.1.Application of confocal microscopy method for measuring the roughness of the rolled material and non-metallic.For the development of the methodology will make the following activities: These measures will be carried out in the laboratories of the company spin-off of CD6 SENSOFARTECH, Polytechnic University of Catalonia. Due to their accuracy and actual accuracy parameter measurements “Ra” which provides the method, these will be taken as a yardstick to validate our proposed method. For this we plan to travel taking samples simultaneously characterize and concretize a collaboration agreement with the research center. 2.1.2.Texture analysis techniques of the images of the speckle patterns of laminates and non-metallic.This project will use image processing techniques with second-order statistics, specifically the technique based on the cooccurrence matrix of gray levels (GLCM) [5], [12], [13], [17], [23], [24], [25], [26] ARMA (autoregressive moving-average), Compressive Sensing [20], [21], [22]. Involves removing four GLCM textural descriptors capture a single image of the speckle pattern developed using the subjective speckle, i.e. speckle formation by an optical system [1], [2], [10], [11], [16]. With this setup you get the right size speckle pattern and to analyze the influence of:
To establish an objective comparison between different texture descriptors examined with optical methods used, were considered and measures used confocal microscopy method as our yardstick, which were taken as the dependent variable the simple linear regression model adopted for the comparison and validation of our proposed method and developed [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26]. The coefficient of determination “R2” was the measure chosen to evaluate the fit of each method. In a linear regression model, the coefficient of determination is the percentage change in the dependent variable explained by the model. In other words, is a measure of the strength of the linear association between two variables X and Y, in our case, confocal microscopy and analysis including texture respectively [26]. 3.RESULTS3.1Benefits and main beneficiariesConduct basic and applied research in the field of inspection of materials will bring significant benefits to the near future. Since replacing equipment and methods that are currently used in industry, for other non-invasive, and whose speed of processing of information obtained faster, is a new challenge facing the Panamanian business sector for success in improving the product quality in this sense is to develop a “prototype” for the real time inspection in production lines. The main beneficiaries of this project will be the national and international scientific community, the country’s productive sectors, Panamanian university students, where these issues can be included in the curricula of some careers, graduate level thesis. In the medium and long term, all that is developed in this project and others in the future, we predict that they will have a significant impact on the birth of some kind of technology company that is able to incubate in some of the business incubation systems that already exist in the country, with one of them at the Technological University of Panama. 3.2Expected ImpactIn addition to expanding our knowledge in the field and application of optical metrology and image processing, is to consolidate a national scientific structure in a way that improves the existing human resource training in using new methodology and development of new technological applications. With this project we interact directly with international scientists with vast experience in the area, which will help develop this subject nationally. It will also allow our researchers participate in international scientific activities, allowing you to create a culture of research, both basic and applied, more solid and robust. Therefore, this will help, no doubt, to encourage near future development and generation of proprietary technology, which is the basis for generating wealth, and thus progress through knowledge, support of current first world societies. 4.CONCLUSIONSPerform a motivation campaign manager of the industrial establishments in order to achieve greater collaboration and more reliable information on this type of research. In which we mention, meetings with the most important groups such as Union of Industrialists of Panama, Panamanian Chamber of Commerce, Association of Small and Medium Enterprises, among others. They have been shown to industries in Panama that processes optical inspection (optical metrology) and methods of digital image processing provide innovative solutions in the field of industrial automation processes which dramatically improves productivity and management the quality of manufactured products, thus increasing their competitiveness in the market. A large number of industrial activities have benefited from the use of these technologies, such as in the areas the production of paper, textiles, metal, glass, industrial machinery components, electronics manufacturing, pharmaceutical and medical among others. 5.5.REFERENCESErsin Kayahan, Hasan Oktem, Fikret Hacizade, Humbat Nasibov, Ozcan Gundogdu,
