Abstract

Over the last few decades, partial differential equations (PDEs) have become one of the significant mathematical methods that are widely used in the current image processing area. One of its common applications is in image smoothing which is an essential preliminary step in image processing. Smoothing is necessary because it affects the result of further processes in image processing. In this project, a system based on second-order PDE and fourth-order PDE models are developed and implemented in digital radiographic image that contain welding defects. The results obtained from these models show better image quality as compared to conventional filters, such as median filter and Gaussian filter. The system is beneficial in assisting radiographic inspectors to produce a better evaluation and analysis on defects in welding images. In addition, non-destructive testing consultants from industries and academician from universities can also utilize this system for training and research purposes.
