Fuel particle size and distribution is the key to energy saving of blast furnace. The fuel particle size will have influence to the highest temperature of the sintered material layer. The paper describe a method of adhesive particle image segmentation using based on particle swarm optimization fuzzy C -means clustering. It can measure particle size of fuel using OPENCV image processing real-time. Some experimental results are given,which show that the algorithm has the effective ability of searching global optimal solution. It has get very good effect on particle statistics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
