Abstract

Evaluation of various edge detection methods in MATLAB for determining porosity in thermal barrier coatings Derrick Robinson1, and P. Ramsundar2, 4 , C. B. Samantaray3, 4 * 1 Department of Computer Engineering, Virginia State University, Petersburg, VA 2 Departments of Mathematics & Computer Science, Virginia State University, Petersburg, VA 3 Department of Chemistry & Physics, Virginia State University, Petersburg, VA 4 Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CCAM), Disputanta, VAThermal spray has been widely used in aerospace and manufacturing industries with a variety ofapplications, especially for coating technology. Methods such as air plasma spray and electronbeam physical vapor deposition are used for thermal barrier coatings (TBC) applied to turbines,machinery parts and tools. The process-structure-property correlations to the coating technologyare very important for achieving lifetime durability and sustainability [1, 2]. An importantmeasure of coating integrity is the porosity of the surface structure [3]. Traditionally porosity ofthe deposit is obtained by microscopy of surface sections and use of software to assess theporosity based on a manual grayscale setting. As a result porosity results on surface coatings arehighly subjective.This paper evaluates six edge detection methods in MATLAB for determining porositymeasurement on a test image of a thermal barrier coating.References1.
