A Novel Infrared Image Segmentation Method for Identifying the Faults in the Systems

In recent years, infrared thermography can be used in detecting the failures or faults in the electrical and mechanical systems. Infrared image segmentation is one method for fault diagnosis of the electrical or mechanical systems. The authors propose an infrared image segmentation method for identifying the faults in the systems. The threshold value for the image segmentation has been calculated based on the concept of one-dimensional histogram approximation. The performance of the proposed method has been evaluated by testing the proposed method on the various infrared images, and we have obtained satisfactory results.
