  • Patent number: 11037299
    Abstract: A Region Merging image segmentation algorithm based on boundary extraction is disclosed, comprising the steps of calculating a gradient image, extracting a boundary and carrying out initial segmentation and Region Merging, wherein each pixel is regarded as one region when initial segmentation is not conducted. In the Region Merging process, the portion of the common boundary of two adjacent regions that lies on the boundary image is taken as the merging cost, the regions are merged according to the ascending order of the mean gradient value inside the region, and a texture difference evaluation mechanism is introduced to reduce the wrong segmentation. The algorithm solves the problems of the other current segmentation algorithms, such as over-segmentation, easy to be influenced by noise and illumination, large in computation and memory consumption, in need of a large number of samples being marked manually and the like.

    Abstract: A Region Merging image segmentation algorithm based on boundary extraction is disclosed, comprising the steps of calculating a gradient image, extracting a boundary and carrying out initial segmentation and Region Merging, wherein the initial segmentation can be omitted. In the Region Merging process, the ratio of the length of boundary extraction result lies on the adjacent edge between adjacent regions to the length of the adjacent edge is taken as the merging cost, the regions are merged according to the ascending order of the mean gradient value in the region, and a texture difference evaluation mechanism is introduced to remove the error segmentation. The algorithm solves the problems of the other current segmentation algorithms, such as over-segmentation, easy to be influenced by noise and illumination, large in computation and memory consumption, in need of a large number of samples being marked manually and the like.

  • Publication number: 20190346207
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an online temperature monitoring system and method for a direct air-cooled condenser. A temperature sensor moving system is arranged on the surface of the heat exchange tube bundle of the direct air-cooled condenser, and a temperature sensor is installed on said temperature sensor moving system and moves on a plane parallel to the surface of the heat exchange tube bundle. The data collected by the temperature sensor is uploaded to a connected data processing system. Said system can collect, analyze, store and query data and give an alarm based on the predefined settings. Compared with the distribution of a plurality of monitoring cables in the prior art, the present invention realizes the scanning of a plurality of monitoring points, simplifies the cable distribution, avoids any blind monitoring area, and has flexibility.
