The damage inspection of container surface is performed by the expert inspectors at the container terminal gate of harbor. In this paper, we substitute the expert's capability with the damage inspection system using the artificial intelligent control algorithm and vision system, so we can improve the work environment and effectively decrease the inspection time and cost. Firstly, using six CCD cameras attached to the terminal gate, whole container is partially captured according to eleven sensors aligned with the entering direction of container. Captured partial images are inspected by the fuzzy system which the expert's technology is embedded. Next, we compose partial images to be a complete container image through the correlation coefficient method. Complete container image is saved to solve future troublesome problems. In this paper, the effectiveness of the proposed system was verified through the field test.
