Hot glass viscosity is a critical glass production parameter and accurate and reliable measurement systems are, therefore, vital. Relative viscosity can be estimated using the analysis of gob dimensions. This article presents a low-cost image processing system for the optical measurement of gob dimension and relative viscosity estimation. The system was designed for process monitoring at the SFS glass factory in Yogoslavia.
