To better understand the fractal characteristics of coal fracture network and find the relation
between 2D and 3D fractal dimensions, the improved box counting method was utilized to …

The occurrence of barely visible impact damage (BVID) in aircraft composite components
and structures being in operation is a serious problem, which threatens structural safety of …

Develo** security-critical systems is difficult and there are many well-known examples of
security weaknesses exploited in practice. Thus a sound methodology supporting secure …

A new image thresholding method based on multiobjective optimization following the Pareto
approach is presented. This method allows to optimize several segmentation criteria …

This paper introduces a novel image segmentation method that performs histogram
thresholding on an image with consideration to spatial information. The spatial information is …

Segmentation of image regions based on their texture is a standard problem in image
analysis. Once a set of texture features is selected, several algorithms can be applied to …

The present chapter proposes an automatic segmentation method that performs multilevel
image thresholding by using the spatial information encoded in the gray level co-occurrence …

Following the “on condition maintenance” approach used for extending service life of an
aircraft one of the major tasks is a nondestructive testing of its critical elements. Considering …

Pattern classification is a well studied problem in which the identity of an unknown pattern is
determined to be one of M classes spanning the pattern space. A new criterion function, the …

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is an important tool for defect detection in composite
materials. Compared to other NDT methods, ultrasonic testing (UT) has the principal …
