Abstract: A method for determining a contour of the representation, on a photo of an object made up of one or several elements, referred to as an “actual contour.” The method includes the following steps: 1) application of a first treatment to the photo so as to obtain a first image representing a first contour of the object; 2) application of a second treatment to the photo so as to obtain a second image representing a second contour of the object; 3) association, according to a predetermined association algorithm, of each point of the second contour with a point of the first respective contour, then removal of the points of the first contour that have not been associated with a point of the second contour, the first image then representing a corrected contour of the object.

Abstract: A set cement mechanical property parameter measurement method and apparatus based on image recognition technology. The method includes: acquiring a first image of a set cement specimen; extracting at least one feature point in the first image; acquiring a second image of the set cement specimen, the second image being an image of the set cement specimen subjected to a compressive load during a compressive test; determining a deformation gradient of the feature point by positions of the same feature point in the first image and the second image; determining a strain tensor by the deformation gradient; and determining a Young's modulus parameter and a Poisson's ratio parameter by the strain tensor. The method can reduce the measurement period of the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of the set cement specimens, simplify the corresponding operation process, and reduce the corresponding measurement error.
