Extracting parameters of µCT scanned open mesh tubular braided composite materials' yarn using image processing techniques

Abstract

In this paper, we present a segmentation algorithm for Tubular Braided Composite (TBC) materials that is demonstrated through its application on a simulated geometrical model. We also conduct a Micro-Computed tomography (µCT) scan on an open-mesh TBC and analyze and segment its images using the proposed method. Finally, we discuss the benefits and limitations of this approach.
