%0 Journal Article %T A METHOD FOR DETECTION WELDING DEFECTS IN RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGES %A ALIREZA AZARI MOGHADDAM and LALITHA RANGARAJAN %J International Journal of Machine Intelligence %D 2011 %I Bioinfo Publications %X Defects detection is very important to guarantee the welding quality. Many researchers have been done on thisarea. However, most of them are limited in efficiency. Different from these researches, a method that is used to detect defectsfrom the radiographic images of welding is put forward. This paper discusses an effective method to segment of the defects inwelding images. We also use Two Dimensional Left Median Filter for enhancing the images. Experimental results show thismethod is effective in noisy and low contrasted radiographic images of weld %K Defect detectio %K Radiographic Image %K Weld %U http://www.bioinfo.in/uploadfiles/13258330823_4_24_IJMI.pdf
