Multi-dimensional and Multi-threshold Airframe Damage Region Division Method Based on Correlation Optimization

In order to obtain the image of airframe damage region and provide the input data for aircraft intelligent maintenance,a multi-dimensional and multi-threshold airframe damage region division method based on correlation optimization is proposed.On the basis of airframe damage feature analysis,the multi-dimensional feature entropy is defined to realize the full fusion of multiple feature information of the image,and the division method is extended to multi-threshold to refine the damage division and reduce the impact of the damage adjacent region’s morphological changes on the division.Through the correlation parameter optimization algorithm,the problem of low efficiency of multi-dimensional multi-threshold division method is solved.Finally,the proposed method is compared and verified by instances of airframe damage image.The results show that compared with the traditional threshold division method,the damage region divided by the proposed method is complete and accurate,and the boundary is clear and coherent,which can effectively reduce the interference of many factors such as uneven luminance,chromaticity deviation,dirt attachment,image compression,and so on.The correlation optimization algorithm has high efficiency and stable convergence,and can meet the requirements of aircraft intelligent maintenance.

Airframe Damage Region Division Method Based on Structure Tensor Dynamic Operator

In order to improve the accuracy of damage region division and eliminate the interference of damage adjacent region,the airframe damage region division method based on the structure tensor dynamic operator is proposed in this paper.The structure tensor feature space is established to represent the local features of damage images.It makes different damage images have the same feature distribution,and transform varied damage region division into consistent process of feature space division.On this basis,the structure tensor dynamic operator generation method is designed.It integrates with bacteria foraging optimization algorithm improved by defining double fitness function and chemotaxis rules,in order to calculate the parameters of dynamic operator generation method and realize the structure tensor feature space division.And then the airframe damage region division is realized.The experimental results on different airframe structure damage images show that compared with traditional threshold division method,the proposed method can improve the division quality.The interference of damage adjacent region is eliminated.The information loss caused by over-segmentation is avoided.And it is efficient in operation,and consistent in process.It also has the applicability to different types of structural damage.
