Automation strain measurement of the sheet metal deforming becomes one of the important application fields of computer vision. The algorithm of image segmentation based on adaptability threshold was presented for image segmentation of metal steel. In order to validate the proposed method, it is tested and compared with Ostu method and the one-dimensional maximum entropy method. Experiment results indicate that the method is simple and effective, and has an advantage of reservation of the main features of the original image.

For the low contrast and serious noises, a fast image segmentation method based on one-dimensional gray segmentation, binary morphology erosion and area elimination is proposed. Since veins are thin and long, the vein image can be easily distinguished from background by judging the gray difference from nearby pixels when they are vertically or horizontally scanned. Then the processed image is diposed with erosion and area elimination to filter the noise. According to test results on the hand vein images which got from the equipment constructed by ourselves, it is proved that the method is more suitable for hand vein image segmentation than others and clear vein images can be botained quickly.

In order to achieve better image segmentation and evaluate the segmentation algorithm, a segmentation method based on 2-D maximum entropy and improved genetic algorithm is proposed in this paper, and the ultimate measurement accuracy criterion is adopted to evaluate the performance of the algorithm. The experimental results and the evaluation results show that segmentation results and performance of the proposed algorithm are both better than the segmentation method based on 2-D maximum entropy method and the standard genetic algorithm. The segmentation of the proposed algorithm is complete and spends less time; it is an effective method for image segmentation.

<p>The characterization of the spatial distribution of soil pore structures is essential to obtain different parameters that will be useful in developing predictive models for a range of physical, chemical, and biological processes in soils. Over the last decade, major technological advances in X-ray computed tomography (CT) have allowed for the investigation and reconstruction of natural porous soils at very fine scales. Delimiting the pore structure (pore space) from the CT soil images applying image segmentation methods is crucial when attempting to extract complex pore space geometry information.</p><p>Different segmentation methods can result in different spatial distributions of pores influencing the parameters used in the models [1]. A new combined global & local segmentation (2D) method called “Combining Singularity-CA method” was successfully applied [2]. This method combines a local scaling method (Singularity-CA method) with a global one (Maximum Entropy method). The Singularity-CA method, based on fractal concepts, creates singularity maps, and the CA (Concentration Area) method is used to define local thresholds that can be applied to binarize CT images [3]. Comparing Singularity-CA method with classical methods, such as Otsu and Maximum Entropy, we observed that more pores can be detected mainly due to its ability to amplify anomalous concentrations. However, some small pores were detected incorrectly. Combining Singularity-CA (2D) method gives better pore detection performance than the Singularity-CA and the Maximum Entropy method applied individually to the images.</p><p>The Combining Singularity-CV (3D) method is presented in this work. It combines the Singularity – CV (Concentration Volume) method [4] and a global one to improve 3D pore space detection.</p><p> </p><p>References:</p><p>[1] Zhang, Y.J. (2001).

Precise recognition of the weed by computer vision, furthermore raising the weeding efficiency, reducing the use of herbicide, and decreasing the pollution to the environment is one of the key technologies in the field of precision agriculture. To determine the optimal threshold in image automatic segmentation and solve one-dimensional histogram without obvious peak and valley distribution, image segmentation method based on fisher criterion and improved adaptive genetic algorithm is proposed. This method can preserve the multifamily of population and the astringency of the algorithm, and can overcome the problems of poor astringency and premature occurrence. The result shows that the proposed approach has better immunity to Salt and Pepper Noise and greatly shortens the time of image segmentation.
