Some statistical Received in revised form features closely related to the weld quality were extracted. The multi-dimensional 3 March 2015 extracted features from the signal were sketched as Chernoff face which characterizes Accepted 5 March 2015 Available online 26 March 2015 the welding quality through the different facial expressions. The weld quality was summarized as four levels, namely poor, good, excellent and expulsion, and each leve
