Instead of mosaicking the partial images, extracting the dimension features of the sequential partial images and deriving the part size according to the relationships between the sequential images is a novel method to realize the high- precision and fast measurement of machine parts. To overcome the corresponding problems arising from the relative rotation between two sequential partial images, a rectifying method based on texture features is put forward to effectively improve the processing speed. Finally, a case study is provided to demonstrate the analysis procedure and the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experiments show that the relative error is less than 0. 012% using the sequential image measurement method to gauge large scale straight-edge parts. The measurement precision meets the needs of precise measurement for sheet metal parts.展开更多

In this paper, we propose an efficient segmentation method based on color clustering and domain knowledge to extract flower regions from flower images. For flower retrieval, we use the color histogram of a flower region to characterize the color features of flower and two shape-based features sets, Centroid-Contour Distance (CCD) and Angle Code Histogram (ACH), to characterize the shape features of a flower contour. Experimental results showed that our flower region extraction method based on color clustering and domain knowledge can produce accurate flower regions. Flower retrieval results on a database of 885 flower images collected from 14 plant species showed that our Region-of-Interest (ROI) based retrieval approach using both color and shape features can perform better than a method based on the global color histogram proposed by Swain and Ballard (1991) and a method based on domain knowledge-driven segmentation and color names proposed by Das et al.(1999).展开更多
