A Computer Vision System for Evaluation of High Temperature Corrosion Damages in Steam Boilers

Our aim is to describe a prototype of computer vision system for evaluation changes on rough surfaces. The system can be used for processing images of various kinds of surfaces. However, the version described here is dedicated for evaluating high temperature corrosion damages in the water-walls tubes of steam boilers. Firstly, a general idea of the system is presented and then we concentrate on on implemented methods of evaluating damages of water walls tubes caused by high temperature corrosion. These methods are based on image processing techniques that are tuned to our purposes.
