X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) has become an important tool for industrial measurement and quality control through its ability to measure internal structures and volumetric defects. Segmentation of constituent materials in the volume acquired through XCT is one of the most critical factors that influence its robustness and repeatability. Highly attenuating materials such as steel can introduce artefacts in CT images that adversely affect the segmentation process, and results in large errors during quantification. This paper presents a Markov Random Field (MRF) segmentation method as a suitable approach for industrial samples with metal artefacts. The advantages of employing the MRF segmentation method are shown in comparison with Otsu thresholding on CT data from two industrial objects.
X 射线计算机断层扫描(XCT)通过测量内部结构和体积缺陷,已成为工业测量和质量控制的重要工具。在 XCT 获得的体积中对组成材料进行分割是影响其稳健性和可重复性的最关键因素之一。像钢这样的高衰减材料会在 CT 图像中引入伪影,从而对分割过程产生不利影响,并在定量过程中产生较大误差。本文提出了一种马尔可夫随机场(MRF)分割方法,作为一种适用于具有金属伪影的工业样本的方法。通过对两个工业物体的 CT 数据进行 Otsu 阈值处理和 MRF 分割方法的比较,展示了采用 MRF 分割方法的优势。
