A Method for Processing and Analysis of the Images of a Network of Thermal Fatigue Cracks on the Surfaces of Rollers of Continuous Casting Machines

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

We propose an algorithm for the analysis of thermal fatigue cracks on the surfaces of rollers of continuous casting machines that does not require adaptation to images of various types and individual choice of parameters. For this purpose, the images are analyzed for a sufficiently large subset of the sets of values of the parameters. The result of this classification is regarded as a fuzzy set with a membership function of each element equal to the number of sets of parameters responsible for the detection of this element as a component of the frame of the damage grid.
