Directional filter bank-based segmentation for improved evaluation of nondestructive evaluation images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a directional filter bank (DFB) for segmentation of NDE images containing directional information. The DFB is used to split an image into a desired number of sub-band images with each sub-band image containing features belonging only to a given angular range. The DFB is a two-channel decomposition employing the Quincunx sampling matrix and the diamond half band filter pair. The DFB is also designed to incorporate the property of perfect reconstruction or alias free reconstruction. Applications of the DFB towards segmenting C-scan images of fiber-reinforced composites, magnetic flux leakage (MFL) images of seamless tubes, IR images of solar cell panels and optical images for the computation of area coverage in a shot-peening process are discussed. r 2006 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Extracting Vessel Centerlines From Retinal Images Using Topographical Properties and Directional Filters
In this paper we consider the problem of blood vessel segmentation in retinal images. After enhancing the retinal image we use green channel of images for segmentation as it provides better discrimination between vessels and background. We consider the negative of retinal green channel image as a topographical surface and extract ridge points on this surface. The points with this property are l...
متن کاملA New Directional Filter Bank for 3D Texture Segmentation: Application to Lamellar Microstructure in Titanium Alloys
The paper presents the methodology used to design and implement a new 3D filter, called the CHG filter (Complementary of HourGlass) and the corresponding directional filter bank to detect surface-like singularities in 3D images. This is used for the application of segmenting lamellar colonies in tomographic images of titanium alloy for further microstructural characterization.
