Abstract:In order to study the behavior of the early stage of pitting corrosion, an image analysis based on discrete wavelet packet transform and fractals was used. Image feature parameters were extracted and analyzed to characterize the pitting corrosion development with test time. It was found that the feature parameters: Shannon entropy, energy, fractal dimension and intercept increased with the test time. Therefore the image processing techniques were promising and effective tools to analyze and detect the pitting … Show more
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.
