Automated Detection of Primary Particles from Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) Images of Soot Aggregates in Diesel Engine Environments

Abstract: The major challenge of the post-processing of soot aggregates in transmission electron microscope (TEM) images is the detection of soot primary particles that have no clear boundaries, vary in size within the fractal aggregates, and often overlap with each other. In this study, we propose an automated detection code for primary particles implementing the Canny Edge Detection (CED) and Circular Hough Transform (CHT) on pre-processed TEM images for particle edge enhancement using unsharp filtering as well as ima… Show more

“…A summary of the mean values of the soot aggregates at different HABs in NI-flame and Iflame is given in Table 4-2. From the table, the values are observed to range between 1.7 and 1.9 for both flames, which are within the asymptotic values that are typically reported in the literature (i.e., [35,57]). In the NI-flame, the soot aggregates are found to have values of 1.73, 1.76 and 1.84 at 20, 30 and 40 mm HABs, respectively.…”

“…However, the thermophoretic sampling of soot coupled with transmission electron microscope (TEM) imaging remains the only method that permits a direct observation of soot morphological information. The soot morphological information is useful to the combustion research community as it provides important insights to the formation and evolution of soot particulates in different combustion conditions [30,[34][35][36][37].…”
