AUTOMATIC X-RAY IMAGE CHARACTERISATION for NON- DESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, firstly we introduce an automatic welding defect inspection system for X-ray image evaluation, then, a novel image segmentation approach is proposed. In this approach, we first apply an adaptive morphological filter (AMF) with an appropriate structuring element to remove noise and most of the background image which is useless for defect identification. Secondly, edges were derived from edge detection by using the Sobel operator. Morphological processing is used to make the edge continuum and calculate the defect area. The defects segmentation method is also compared with other methods. The performance of experimental results based on the proposed approach is evaluated and has been found to be appropriate for automatic radiography Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE).

Empirical correlation for porosity deduction from X-ray computed tomography (CT)
For obtaining reservoir petrophysical properties, for example porosity, non-destructive methods such as X-ray computed tomography, CT, seems to be precise and accurate. Porosity is deducted from the CT image with a single scan via different techniques, such as pore space detection by image segmentation techniques then correlation with porosity. More than one hundred samples with carbonate li...
متن کاملRecent advancements in mechanical characterisation of 3D woven composites
Three dimensional (3D) woven composites have attracted the interest of academia and industry thanks to their damage tolerance characteristics and automated fabric manufacturing. Although much research has been conducted to investigate their out-of-plane “through thickness” properties, still their in-plane properties are not fully understood and rely on extensive experimentation. To date, the li...

An X-ray diffraction line will broaden considerably when steels change into martensitic structure on quenching. The results presented in this paper show that X-ray diffraction technique can be employed for a rapid and nondestructive measurement of hardness of hardened steel. Measurement on various quenched and tempered steels showed that the breadth of its diffraction peak increased with increa...
