New Contour Detection Model Working on Gray-Scale Image of Blended Yarn Cross-Section

The traditional Contour Tracing algorithm works on the binary image.It is developed that a new model called Facula Diffusion which can work directly on gray-scaled images according to the principle of human vision.The diffusion operation is controlled by four factors including approximation,closing,length-limiting,and hit-rate.Based on this model,three shape indices,i.e.,dimension index,abnormity index,and fluctuation index,were put forward to describe the shape of objects.The rule of shape indices selectio...
