Application of Optimum-Path Forest Classifier for Synthetic Material Porosity Segmentation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a new application and evaluation of the Optimum-Path Forest (OPF) classifier to accomplish synthetic material porosity segmentation and quantification obtained from optical microscopic images. Sample images of a synthetic material were analyzed and the quality of the results was confirmed by human visual analysis. Additionally, the OPF results were compared against two different Support Vector Machines approaches, confirming the OPF superior fast and reliable qualities for this analysis purpose. Thus, the Optimum-Path Forest classier demonstrated to be a valid and adequate tool for microstructure characterization through porosity segmentation and quantification using microscopic images, manly due its fast, efficient and reliable manner. KeywordsOptimum-Path Forest, Synthetic Material Porosity Segmentation, Image Foresting Transform.

Fast Automatic Microstructural Segmentation of Ferrous Alloy Samples Using Optimum-Path Forest
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 i...

The combination of multiple classifiers was proven to be useful in many applications to improve the classification task and stabilize results. In this paper we used the Optimum-Path Forest (OPF) classifier to investigate input data manipulation techniques in order to use less data from the training set without hampering the classification accuracy. The data undersampling can be useful to speed-...
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 کاملSupervised Pattern Classification Using Optimum-Path Forest
We present a graph-based framework for pattern recognition, called Optimum-Path Forest (OPF), and describe one of its classifiers developed for the supervised learning case. This classifier does not require parameters and can handle some overlapping among multiple classes with arbitrary shapes. The method reduces the pattern recognition problem into the computation of an optimum-path forest in ...
