The internal structure analysis of radial tires is of great significance to improve vehicle safety and during tire research. In order to perform the digital analysis and detection of the internal composition in radial tire cross-sections, a detection method based on digital image processing was proposed. The research was carried out as follows: (a) the distribution detection and parametric analysis of the bead wire, steel belt, and carcass in the tire section were performed by means of digital image processing, connected domain extraction, and Hough transform; (b) using the angle of location distribution and area relationship, the detection data were optimized through coordinate and quantity relationship constraints; (c) a detection system for tire cross-section components was designed using the MATLAB platform. Our experimental results showed that this method displayed a good detection performance, and important practical significance for the research and manufacture of tires.

In the Netherlands, many prestressed concrete bridge girders are found to have insufficient shear–tension capacity. We tested four girders taken from a demolished bridge and instrumented these with traditional displacement sensors and acoustic emission (AE) sensors, and used cameras for digital image correlation (DIC). The results show that AE can detect cracking before the traditional displacement sensors, and DIC can identify the cracks with detailed crack kinematics. Both AE and DIC methods provide additional information for the structural analysis, as compared to the conventional measurements: more accurate cracking load, the contribution of aggregate interlock, and the angle of the compression field. These results suggest that both AE and DIC are suitable options that warrant further research on their use in lab tests and field testing of prestressed bridges.

In this paper, we introduce a new method for ellipse detection. For any object has closed curve in a digital image, it is easy to calculate the centroid of the object. We assume the object is an ellipse, and then by rotating, scaling this object, it can be transformed to a circle. So, ellipse detection problem becomes circle detection problem. Compared with other detection methods, our method only need process border points of the object, hence has higher detection speed.

Approaches for analyzing digital images of moving and burning fuel droplets, with the goal of accurately measuring droplet edge coordinates, are discussed. Strategies for locating droplet edges in the presence of obscuration from soot and also backlight diffraction at the droplet edge are described. An outlier detection method is employed to identify outliers in droplet edge coordinates, and the resulting data can have significantly smaller standard deviations in droplet diameters if outliers are rejected, especially for droplets that exhibit significant soot formation. The approaches described herein are applied to images from droplet combustion experiments performed on the International Space Station as well as to synthetic image sequences that were generated to enable the accuracy of the algorithms to be assessed.
