Advanced Image Processing Technique for Failure Analysis

Failure patterns of mechanical components and materials can be observed by surface deformations. Preventive maintenance always minimizes the failure patterns and here is a method proposed which not only minimizes the failures but also analyses the life expectancy of such components and materials. Image processing using Matlab Tool Boxes is emerging as a perfect simulation platform and by writing simple codes one can see its effect which can be analyzed by ease. The paper proposes a robust image processing technique and is developed on Matlab platform

Image processing using miniKanren

An integral image is one of the most efficient optimization technique for image processing. However an integral image is only a special case of delayed stream or memoization. This research discusses generalizing concept of integral image optimization technique, and how to generate an integral image optimized program code automatically from abstracted image processing algorithm. In oder to abstruct algorithms, we forces to miniKanren

Production of syndiotactic polystyrene powder for part manufacturing through SLS

Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a well-established additive manufacturing (AM) process. While AM originally found its use as rapid prototyping technique, it is nowadays more and more considered for the production of actual end-use parts. A widely acknowledged hindrance in the evolution of this technology is the limited range of materials available for processing with SLS, making the application window rather small. Introducing new materials with the correct morphology and thermal requirements for SLS could broaden this window and give rise to new products. This research aims at identifying such promising materials, considering the relevant requirements for selecting and processing a new material. Considered foremost within this manuscript is the processability of syndiotactic polystyrene from pellet form into spherical particles of 50-90 μm without significantly changing their properties. Regarding processing methods, the focus of this work is on solution based techniques (single phase precipitation, emulsion precipitation) instead of more conventional mechanical processing methods (ball milling) as these are believed to be more accessible and more suitable as a precursor step for a wide range of processing technique

Applied of image processing technique on semi-auto count of skin spot

Skin is the biggest organ in the human body and works to separate the inner body part from outer environment. In the skin, there are sebaceous glands found inside the pores of the skin. They are at all over the body except for the palms of the hands and the feet soles. There are more sebaceous glands on the face and scalp than elsewhere. Sebaceous gland secretes an oily protective skin surface, sebum, which is against pathogens and also help to slow down the skin ageing process [1]. They can help to maintain the moisture of the skin. However, the sebaceous glands become overactive sometimes, thus, producing too much sebum and the pores can get clogged together with dead skin [2][3]. This will results in having blackheads along with other factors. Blackhead is one of an acne vulgaris type [4]. It is a small dark spots on the skin that sometimes hard to be seen under a naked eye. If the clogged pores infect the glands, the accumulated sebum may form a sac and slowly increase in size. Lack of sebum production can also provide unsatisfied result that could cause dry skin, which makes the skin, looks rough and dull
