Hybrid Level Set Driven by Signed Pressure Force for Welding Defects Segmentation
Source abstract
Abstract
This research paper focuses on the segmentation of welding defects in radiographic images, which plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and monitoring of defects in the industry. Our primary challenge is to develop a method that incorporates geodesic active contours for local segmentation and specifically targets the segmentation of welding defects regions in radiographic images used for non-destructive control and analysis. The objective of this study is to assess the robustness of our proposed method on various radiographic images. Our findings indicate that the proposed method is not only robust but also highly effective.
