Evaluation of metal objects surface parameters informativity using 2D­ and 3D­data For classification of fractures

Abstract

This article describes evaluation the information content of metal objects surfaces for classification of fractures using 2D and 3D data. As parameters, the textural characteristics of Haralick, local binary patterns of pixels for 2D images, macrogeometric descriptors of metal objects digitized by a 3D scanner are considered. The analysis carried out on basis of information content estimation to select the features that are most suitable for solving the problem of metals fractures classification. The results will be used for development of methods for complex forensic examination of complex polygonal surfaces of solid objects for automated system for analyzing digital images.
