Abstract

The authors discuss the development of a machine vision system using Bayesian decision theory to classify target and nontarget areas on a cylindrical surface. Algorithms developed using Bayesian theory are used to extract a cylindrical surface from a textured background and then to segment the image into target and nontarget areas for subsequent processing. The advantages of the algorithms are that no a priori grey-level threshold values are required, illumination constraints are reduced, and the results are consistent.
