Pre-processing is very useful in a variety of situations since it helps to suppress information that is not related to the exact image processing or analysis task. Mathematical morphology is used for analysis, understanding and image processing. It is an influential method in the geometric morphological analysis and image understanding. It has befallen a new theory in the digital image processing domain. Edges detection and noise reduction are a crucial and very important pre-processing step. The classical edge detection methods and filtering are less accurate in detecting complex edge and filtering various types of noise. This paper proposed some useful mathematic morphological techniques to detect edge and to filter noise in metal parts image. The experimental result showed that the proposed algorithm helps to increase accuracy of metal parts inspection system.

Inspection on the dyed material in the textile industry is facing a challenging task owing to the accurate measurement of the dye concentration added. Currently manual inspection is done. It consumes more time and less accurate. The proposed work provides a solution to above problem. The image of reference material (cloth) is captured and the features are extracted using image processing techniques. The color concentration of both the reference material and the test fabric is compared. If the dye concentration of the test fabric matches with the reference material, then it is a perfect dyed cloth whereas for mismatched samples, the concentration is to be adjusted is displayed. This smart dyeing inspection system reduces the manual operation and saves time and results in high accuracy.

Steel Bars

Steel bars play an important role in modern construction projects and their quality enormously affects the safety of buildings. It is urgent to detect whether steel bars meet the specifications or not. However, the existing manual detection methods are costly, slow and offer poor precision. In order to solve these problems, a high precision quality inspection system for steel bars based on machine vision is developed. We propose two algorithms: the sub-pixel boundary location method (SPBLM) and fast stitch method (FSM). A total of five sensors, including a CMOS, a level sensor, a proximity switch, a voltage sensor, and a current sensor have been used to detect the device conditions and capture image or video. The device could capture abundant and high-definition images and video taken by a uniform and stable smartphone at the construction site. Then data could be processed in real-time on a smartphone. Furthermore, the detection results, including steel bar diameter, spacing, and quantity would be given by a practical APP. The system has a rather high accuracy (as low as 0.04 mm (absolute error) and 0.002% (relative error) of calculating diameter and spacing; zero error in counting numbers of steel bars) when doing inspection tasks, and three parameters can be detected at the same time. None of these features are available in existing systems and the device and method can be widely used to steel bar quality inspection at the construction site.

The Impact

In this paper are presented solutions to develop algorithms for digital image processing focusing particularly on edge detection. Edge detection is one of the most important phases used in computer vision and image processing applications and also in human image understanding. In this chapter, implementation of classical edge detection algorithms it is presented and also implementation of algorithms based on the theory of Cellular Automata (CA). This work is totally related to the idea of understanding the impact of the inherently local information processing of CA on their ability to perform a managed computation at the global level. If a suitable encoding of a digital image is used, in some cases, it is possible to achieve better results in comparison with the solutions obtained by means of conventional approaches. The software application which is able to process images in order to detect edges using both conventional algorithms and CA based ones is written in C# programming language and experimental results are presented for images with different sizes and backgrounds.

Image Edges

Image segmentation is one of the fundamental problems in image processing. In digital image processing, there are many image segmentation techniques. One of the most important techniques is Edge detection techniques for natural image segmentation. Edge is a one of the basic feature of an image. Edge detection can be used as a fundamental tool for image segmentation. Edge detection methods transform original images into edge images benefits from the changes of grey tones in the image. The image edges include a good number of rich information that is very significant for obtaining the image characteristic by object recognition and analyzing the image. In a gray scale image, the edge is a local feature that, within a neighborhood, separates two regions, in each of which the gray level is more or less uniform with different values on the two sides of the edge. In this paper, the main objective is to study the theory of edge detection for image segmentation using various computing approaches.

The Brain

An ischemic stroke (IS) naturally originates with rapid onset neurological shortfall, which can be verified by analyzing the internal regions of brain. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance image (MRI) are the commonly used non-invasive medical examination techniques used to record the brain abnormalities for clinical study. In order to have a pre-opinion regarding the brain abnormality in clinical level, it is essential to use a suitable image processing tool to appraise the digital CT/MR images. In this chapter, a hybrid image processing technique based on the social group optimization assisted Tsallis entropy and watershed segmentation (WS) is proposed to examine ischemic stroke region from digital CT/MR images. For the experimental study, the digital CT/MRI datasets like Radiopedia, BRATS-2013, and ISLES-2015 are considered. Experimental result of this study confirms that, proposed hybrid approach offers superior results on the considered image datasets.

The Difference

Defect detection is a key element of quality assurance in many modern manufacturing processes. Defect detection methods, however, often involve a great deal of time and manual work. Image processing has become widely used as a means of reducing the required detection time and effort in manufacturing. To this end, this study proposes an image-processing algorithm for detecting defects in images with striped backgrounds—defect types include scratches and stains. In order to detect defects, the proposed method first pre-processes images and rotates them to align the stripes horizontally. Then, the images are divided into two parts: blocks and intervals. For the blocks, a one-dimensional median filter is used to generate defect-free images, and the difference between the original images and the defect-free images is calculated to find defects. For the intervals, defects are identified using image binarization. Finally, the method superposes the results found in the blocks and intervals to obtain final images with all defects marked. This study evaluated the performance of the proposed algorithm using 65 synthesized images and 20 actual images. The method achieved an accuracy of 97.2% based on the correctness of the defect locations. The defects that could not be identified were those whose greyscales were very close to those of the background.
