Evaluation of Corrosion on Steel Surface Using Image Processing

Abstract

Using two types of image processing techniques without machine learning, edge extraction processing and keypoint extraction processing, progressively corroded regions under the rust layer from images of corroded steel surfaces was extracted. We found that there was a relatively good correlation between the keypoint strength obtained from the keypoint extraction processing for HSL transformed and histogram flattened corroded surface images and the corrosion depth after rust removal.
