Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach for edge detection and concatenation. It applies the proposed method on a set of optical microscopy images of aluminium alloy Al 99.5% (ENAW1050A) samples with different grain size values. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated based on the intercept method and compared with the manual grain size determination method. Edge detection filters have proven inefficient in grain boundaries’ detection of the presented microscopy images. To some extent only the Canny edge-detection filter was able to compute grain boundaries of lower-resolution images adequately, while the presented method proved to be superior, especially in high-resolution images. The proposed method has proven its applicability, and it implies higher automatisation and lower processing times compared to manual optical microscopy image processing.
