PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an instrument for detecting slag in a casting facility in which the pouring of molten metal into a tundish from a ladle is performed with a shroud box molten metal pouring system. SOLUTION: In the slag detecting instrument provided with an infrared camera 1 and an operation processor 10 to detect the slag in the casting facility using the shroud box molten metal pouring system, an image treatment is applied to pick-up image of molten steel stream in the shroud box from the infrared camera 1 to make a bright and dark pattern in a detected objective range. A pattern matching between this bright and dark pattern and a standard bright and dark pattern, is performed and it is decided whether the slag is made to flow or not based on the result of this pattern matching. Then, the detection of the slag is performed and this result is output to e.g. an alarm device. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
