To improve the rate and accuracy of weld defect segmentation in radiographic images
a segmentation method based on water-flooding principle is proposed. According to the principle water flows downwards to the low-lying-land and runs over when it is full
the region of a defect and its neighbor are flooded and the threshold value is determined in terms of the growth of the flooded area. The waveform analysis of gray level profiles is used to detect a defect and get the seed point. Then
a flooding process is carried out starting from the seed point
where a line by line search strategy is employed. Once flooding
the threshold is determined by analyzing the relative increment of the flooded area. The experimental results show that the computation cost of the proposed method is 5.3% and 25% of that of Alaknanda method and Kaftandjian method
and the segmentation error gets 27.33% and 53.14%.
