Radiographic Weld Defect Identification using Statistical Texture and Bayes Classifier
Abstract
Automatic radiographic weld defect identification involves pattern recognition techniques i.e feature extraction and classification. Various methods have been applied using geometrical and morphological measurement as feature descriptor and classification based on cost function optimization. In this work, a radiographic weld defect identification system has been developed based on statistical texture descriptor and statistical based classifier. Several steps were used in this work i.e. image pre-processing to reduce the image noise and to enhance the image contrast, second step was feature extraction using histogram statistical texture (HST) that extracted sixes features from the images, and the last step was weld defect classification using Bayes classifier. The experiment testing was done in order to compare the classification accuracy of Bayes classifier with other classification method that has been used in the previous work. The experimental result have proven that the classification accuracy using HST and Bayes classifier reach 90.6% and it is outperform than other methods.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
