Crater Wear Measurement Using Computer Vision and Automatic Focusing

Abstract

In this paper a new gefchmique to measaure the creater wear using image processing and automatic focusing is presented. The contour detection algorithm, which can adopt ina noisy image, is suggested. It is suitable for eliminating high frequency noses with lower processing time and without blurring. An automatic focusing technique is applied to measure a createrwear depth with a one-dimensional search algorithm for finding the bestfocus. This method is implemented in the tool microscope driven by a servo motor. The results show that the countour and depth of crater wear can be measured reliably.
