Concrete Image Segmentation Based on Multiscale Mathematic Morphology Operators and Otsu Method

الملخص EN

The aim of the current study lies in the development of a reformative technique of image segmentation for Computed Tomography (CT) concrete images with the strength grades of C30 and C40.

The results, through the comparison of the traditional threshold algorithms, indicate that three threshold algorithms and five edge detectors fail to meet the demand of segmentation for Computed Tomography concrete images.

The paper proposes a new segmentation method, by combining multiscale noise suppression morphology edge detector with Otsu method, which is more appropriate for the segmentation of Computed Tomography concrete images with low contrast.

This method cannot only locate the boundaries between objects and background with high accuracy, but also obtain a complete edge and eliminate noise.
