Computer aided spur gear data extraction based on image processing technique

Abstract EN

This paper proposed a computerized methodology of spur gears reconstruction and feature extraction using image processing technique.

The methodology was prepared, by building a suitable logical program in Matlab environment, to process the captured gear image using mathematical and logical relationships for the purpose of spur gear data extraction required for 3D spur gear modeling which is include No.

of teeth, tooth height, Pitch circle, … etc. The proposed system has been tested on different spur gears, and the extracted data shows reliable spur gear modeling, which generates accurate and efficient model and provides substantial saving in time and cost of production.
