I am running a project on trying to find a method of detecting splits that are present in pressed metal.
The system is to be placed into a manufacturing press line of car panels that will automatically detect and notify when a split has occurred during production.
Some methods I have come across include the use of light or infrared and also heard ideas about the use of harmonics.
Does anyone have any methods that they know of? Or more information on the mentioned techniques?

Thank you
