The Segmentation of Wear Particles Images Using J -Segmentation Algorithm

Abstract EN

This study aims to use a JSEG algorithm to segment the wear particle’s image.

Wear particles provide detailed information about the wear processes taking place between mechanical components.

Autosegmentation of their images is key to intelligent classification system.

This study examined whether this algorithm can be used in particles’ image segmentation.

Different scales have been tested.

Compared with traditional thresholding along with edge detector, the JSEG algorithm showed promising result.

It offers a relatively higher accuracy and can be used on color image instead of gray image with little computing complexity.

A conclusion can be drawn that the JSEG method is suited for imaged wear particle segmentation and can be put into practical use in wear particle’s identification system.
