Abstract

A image system and a new kind of image processing algorithm (watersheds algorithm) are introduced; First, we get the prime wheel tread data by a Charge Coupled Device (CCD), after the pretreatment of the data, we use the watersheds algorithm to get the trail wheel abrasion and peel off strips, than we will get the numerical value of the damage. The result of the experiment shows that the system can obtain the edge of the trail wheel abrasion and peel off strips; the algorithm is fast, stable and anti-jamming; the recognition system can satisfy the manufactory requirements.
