Abstract
We propose a new technique to analyze welded machine parts. Our problem is that we cannot distinguish a welded place in CT (Computed Tomography) data. This is a principle problem of CT technology. However, analyses of those parts are heavily desired in industrial applications. Therefore, we propose a technique consist of three processes. At first, we extract medial cells from a whole voxel model. Next, we separate the model by using distance analysis and apply the medial cells extraction method once again. Finally, we implement the technique on a standard PC and demonstrate its effectiveness.
