Abstract Mechanical properties of internal curing concrete are greatly affected by its physical properties such as water content, cementing material content, porosity, and saturation. At the micro level, such impact is finally reflected in the surface texture of its materials. In this study, the image recognition technology was used to find that the internal curing concrete samples have significant micromorphology and texture features. A texture parameter–strength model was established based on the relationship between Tamura texture parameters, gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture parameters, and the mechanical strength. Due to the characteristics of materials and the sensitivity of parameters, not all Tamura and GLCM texture parameters can effectively characterize the texture features of internal curing concrete materials. In terms of the Tamura texture, coarseness, regularity, and directionality are effective parameters to predict the compressive strength of the internal curing concrete. In terms of the GLCM texture, energy, correlation, entropy, and contrast are effective parameters to predict the compressive strength of the internal curing concrete. Correlations between each texture parameter and compressive strength follow different laws.

Grinding is the mostly leading machining technology for engineering ceramics. The quality of ground surface can be evaluated by various roughness parameters. And a textural analysis method based on Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix was employed in researching the roughness of ground ceramics. The relationship between texture features and roughness was investigated through a series of surface images of engineering ceramics collected by a digital microscope. The sampling offset and total gray levels of surface images were determined firstly. Then 4 GLCMs were built up to calculate the average of texture features. And 6 parameters were fixed as main texture parameters. Furthermore, the multiple nonlinear regression theory was used to assess the relation between the texture features and roughness Ra. By statistic test and comparison, the deviation of calculated Ra and actual Ra is less than 0.25. It is shown that this relation is much satisfactory and the method may be suitable for quickly measuring the roughness of ground ceramics.

The surface roughness and surface texture feature both are the key factors to evaluate the ground ceramics surface. The Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) is introduced to extract and analyze the texture features of ground surface, in order to discover the relationship between texture features and roughness, and predict the roughness of ground ceramics according to the defined texture parameters. Four matrices about different sampling orientations are built up after the sampling offset and total gray levels are determined. By analyzing the correlation about every two features, Contrast, SS and ASM are selected to characterize the texture information of machined surface. Finally, the paper reveals the linear variation laws between Ra, Ry, S, tp and above features. The grounding quality of ceramic products also can be roughly estimated on the ground of that.

<p>Baekdu Mountain is a 2,744 m high stratovolcano, located on the border of China and North Korea. The mountain has a caldera lake, Lake Cheonji, as a result of past volcanic activity. The ice area changes during winter in Lake Cheonji could act as a proxy for volcanic activity monitoring in Baekdu. As Baekdu laid on a political border, remote sensing allows us to quantify attributes of otherwise inaccessible or dangerous places. We assessed changes in winter (October–April) ice area in a high-altitude groundwater-fed caldera lake using Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data acquired from 2015 to 2020. To calculate the ice-covered area, 10 gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture features were computed from SAR images obtained with VH (vertical transmission and horizontal reception) and VV (vertical transmission and vertical reception) polarizations. A support vector machine (SVM) algorithm was used to classify ice and water pixels from the GLCM layers, and the results from VH and VV imagery were combined to calculate the total area covered by ice. We examined the relationship between ice area and air temperature from the closest weather station, Samjiyeon using fixed period regression. The ice area was inversely proportional to 30-day averaged air temperature and these variables were highly correlated (-0.86). Our results show that there were no significant ice changes during the period, which indicates that there was no significant volcanic activity in Baekdu Mountain during the winters of 2015–2020. This study is expected to be useful for a better understanding of whether and how ice area changes in volcano lakes aid in eruption forecasting.</p>

Gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) is a second-order statistical measure of image grayscale which reflects the comprehensive information of image grayscale in the direction, local neighborhood and magnitude of changes. Firstly, we analyze and reveal the generation process of gray level co-occurrence matrix from horizontal, vertical and principal and secondary diagonal directions. Secondly, we use Brodatz texture images as samples, and analyze the relationship between non-zero elements of gray level co-occurrence matrix in changes of both direction and distances of each pixels pair by. Finally, we explain its function of the analysis process of texture. This paper can provided certain referential significance in the application of using gray level co-occurrence matrix at quality evaluation of texture image.

The permeable pavement plays an important role in mitigating urban flooding. In order to explore the relationship between materials and properties to better guide the practical production of resin-based permeable bricks, 10 kinds of representative aggregate samples with obvious different characteristics were selected for preparation. In this study, Image Pro Plus was used to binarize the acquired image pictures of the aggregate so as to obtain particle group characteristic parameters. The properties and porosity of the brick were measured in order to describe the influence of the material. The results are as follows. The relative standard deviation of aggregate and the amount of cementing material are negatively related to the compressive strength of permeable bricks, but positively related to water permeability and filtration performance. The roundness and roughness of the aggregate are the opposite. Furthermore, the porosity of the permeable brick is the essential reason for this phenomenon, that is, as the porosity increase, the compressive strength decrease, but the water permeability and the filtration performance become better. In the end, an optimization method for the compatibility of resin-based pavement permeable bricks was proposed through reflecting all factors in a two-bit flat grayscale image which can be applied in performance prediction and guidance of material selection.

TAPPI test T811 is the specified method to ascertain ECT relative to box manufacturer’s certification compliance of corrugated fiberboard under Rule 41/ Alternate Item 222. T811 test sample heights were derived from typical board constructions at the time of the test method’s initial development. New, smaller flute sizes have since been developed, and the use of lighter weight boards has become more common. The T811 test method includes sample specifications for typical A-flute, B-flute, and C-flute singlewall (and doublewall and triplewall) structures, but not for newer thinner E-flute or F-flute structures. This research explores the relationship of ECT sample height to measured compressive load, in an effort to determine valid E-flute and F-flute ECT sample heights for use with the T811 method. Through this process, it identifies challenges present in our use of current ECT test methods as a measure of intrinsic compressive strength for smaller flute structures. The data does not support the use of TAPPI T 811 for ECT measurement for E and F flute structures, and demonstrates inconsistencies with current height specifi-cations for some lightweight B flute.
