The concave vertices were determined first, and then they were moved by using the method connecting the concave vertices with the vertices of falling into its region B,so that the primary polygon could be partitioned into two subpolygons. Finally, this method was applied recursively to the subpolygons until all the concave vertices were removed. This algorithm partitions the polygon into O(l) convex parts, its time complexity is max(O(n),O(l 2)) multiplications, where n is the number of vertices of the polygon and l is the number of the concave vertices.展开更多

In order to obtain complete defect images, we used convex optimization(CO) with different weights as a pretreatment method for smoothing and the Otsu segmentation method to obtain the target defect area images. Structural similarity(SSIM) results between original image and defect image were calculated to evaluate the performance of segmentation with different convex optimization weights. The geometric and intensity features of defects were extracted before constructing a classification and regression tree(CART) classifier. The average accuracy of the classifier is 94.1% with four types of defects on Xylosma congestum wood plate surface: pinhole, crack,live knot and dead knot. Experimental results showed that CO can save the edge of target defects maximally, SSIM can select the appropriate weight for CO, and the CART classifier appears to have the advantages of good adaptability and high classification accuracy.展开更多
