Surface crack width measurement based on digital image processing

Cracks are common and dangerous hazards in buildings. Aiming at the defects of low accuracy and poor feasibility in traditional crack width detection, proposing a crack width measurement method based on an orthogonal skeleton line. Firstly, the crack image is processed by grayscale. Secondly, the processed image is median filtering and threshold segmentation. Finally, the skeleton and outline of the crack image were extracted by this method, and the measurement and comparison of simulated cracks and actual cracks are completed. The simulation results show that this method has high accuracy and feasibility and can meet the accuracy of engineering practice.
