Fast Automatic Microstructural Segmentation of Ferrous Alloy Samples Using Optimum-Path Forest
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we propose a novel automatic cast iron segmentation approach based on the Optimum-Path Forest classifier (OPF). Microscopic images from nodular, gray and malleable cast irons are segmented using OPF, and Support Vector Machines (SVM) with Radial Basis Function and SVM without kernel mapping. Results show accurate and fast segmented images, in which OPF outperformed SVMs. Our work is the first into applying OPF for automatic cast iron segmentation.

متن کاملUltrasonic Sensor Signals and Optimum Path Forest Classifier for the Microstructural Characterization of Thermally-Aged Inconel 625 Alloy
Secondary phases, such as laves and carbides, are formed during the final solidification stages of nickel-based superalloy coatings deposited during the gas tungsten arc welding cold wire process. However, when aged at high temperatures, other phases can precipitate in the microstructure, like the γ'' and δ phases. This work presents an evaluation of the powerful optimum path forest (OPF) class...
متن کاملData clustering as an optimum-path forest problem with applications in image analysis
We propose an approach for data clustering based on optimum-path forest. The samples are taken as nodes of a graph, whose arcs are defined by an adjacency relation. The nodes are weighted by their probability density values (pdf) and a connectivity function is maximized, such that each maximum of the pdf becomes root of an optimumpath tree (cluster), composed by samples “more strongly connected...
متن کاملDesign of Pattern Classifiers Using Optimum-Path Forest with Applications in Image Analysis
Current image acquisition and storage technologies have provided large data sets (with millions of samples) for analysis. Samples may be images from an image database, objects extracted from several images, or image pixels. This scenario is very challenging for traditional machine learning and pattern recognition techniques, which need to be more efficient and effective in large data sets. This...
متن کاملBrain tissue MR-image segmentation via optimum-path forest clustering
We present an accurate and fast approach for MR-image segmentation of brain tissues, that is robust to anatomical variations and takes an average of less than one minute for completion on modern PCs. The method first corrects voxel values in the brain based on local estimations of the whitematter intensities. This strategy is inspired by other works, but it is simple, fast, and very effective. ...
