Crack Detection

I have problem for detection for surface ceramics image, how i can detect crack surface , pls give me some advice. this my code for detect crack surface
function [img1_array, img2_array,img3_array, img4_array,Zme]= DefectScan(input_path,input_path2);
% clear all;
% close all;
I = imread(input_path2);
J = imread(input_path);
I = rgb2gray(I);
J = rgb2gray(J);
% f=figure,imshow(I);
% g=figure,imshow(J);
hy = fspecial('sobel');
hx = hy';
Iy = imfilter(double(I), hy, 'replicate');
Ix = imfilter(double(I), hx, 'replicate');
ey = fspecial('sobel');
fx = ey';
Jy = imfilter(double(J), ey, 'replicate');
Jx = imfilter(double(J), fx, 'replicate');
gradmag = sqrt(Ix.^2 + Iy.^2);
gradmag2 = sqrt(Jx.^2 + Jy.^2);
K=figure,imshow(gradmag,[]);
L=figure,imshow(gradmag2,[]);
set(K, 'visible','off');
set(L, 'visible','off');
filename = 'temp_file.jpg'
filename2 = 'temp_file2.jpg'
saveas(K, filename)
saveas(L, filename2)
i1 = imread(filename)
i2 = imread(filename2)
delete(filename)
delete(filename2)
[x, y, rgb] = ind2sub([size(i1,1) size(i1,2) size(i1,3)], find(i1 ~= 255));
A = i1(min(x):max(x)-1,min(y):max(y)-1,:);
[x, y, rgb] = ind2sub([size(i2,1) size(i2,2) size(i2,3)], find(i2 ~= 255));
B = i2(min(x):max(x)-1,min(y):max(y)-1,:);
A = rgb2gray(A)
B = rgb2gray(B)
I = edge(A,'sobel')
J = edge(B,'sobel')

Put up a sample image so people can see what you are working with. For instructions on how you can do this, see :

this link picture : http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q570/diodonaika/1.jpg my code just detect pinhole like this http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q570/diodonaika/0674.jpg i want to detect crack from tile, need for help ...

When I look at your 1.jpg I cannot see any pinholes or cracks myself ? I do see lines in the image, but those have the appearance of being just part of the texture. Are all of the lines cracks ?

its not crack but ceramic pattern , maybe this picture more clearly http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q570/diodonaika/2.jpg

No, not really. I'd give the same answer as Walter did for 1.jpg.

I see some slanted lines that are fairly straight, but those look to me like scratches rather than cracks.
I see a number of areas that are raised, but possibly the places that appear lower are instead filled with something that is optically transparent and the tile overall has a flat surface.
Could you perhaps post the images 1 and 2 again, with cracks pointed out with marks?
Im soory to late, because i just have the data from my senior this image crack http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q570/diodonaika/diodo.jpg and i have done detect the crack http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q570/diodonaika/diodo2.jpg
this my code I = imread('diodo.jpg');
I = rgb2gray(I);
% f=figure,imshow(I);
% g=figure,imshow(J);
hy = fspecial('sobel');
hx = hy';
Iy = imfilter(double(I), hy, 'replicate');
Ix = imfilter(double(I), hx, 'replicate');
gradmag = sqrt(Ix.^2 + Iy.^2);
K=figure,imshow(gradmag,[]);
set(K, 'visible','on');
filename = 'temp_file.jpg'
saveas(K, filename)
i1 = imread(filename)
delete(filename)
[x, y, rgb] = ind2sub([size(i1,1) size(i1,2) size(i1,3)], find(i1 ~= 255));
A = i1(min(x):max(x)-1,min(y):max(y)-1,:);
A = rgb2gray(A)
I = edge(A,'sobel')
%934 742
I = imcrop(I,[10 7 914 728]);
I = imresize(I, [2000 2500])
f=figure,imshow(I);
set(f, 'visible','on');
imwrite(I, filename)
bw = imread(filename)
delete(filename)
bw = im2bw(bw, graythresh(bw))
bw = bwareaopen(bw,65);
set(f, 'visible','on');
f, imshow(bw)
What do i do next to calculate crack in centimeter ? please help me

"What do i do next to calculate crack in centimeter ?" Well, what is the size of your field of view in cm? Let's say it's 30 cm and your image width is 1000 pixels. Then your calibration factor is 30/1000 cm per linear pixel, or 30^2/1000^2 cm^2 per pixel area. So just multiply your pixel lengths or areas by those factors to get the results in cm or cm^2.

Use regionprops() on the binary image you showed. See my BlobsDemo for an example: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/?term=authorid%3A31862

flowchart from my code grayscale, gradient magnitude, and sobel. I think there's a method that should be added, but i dont know what, plese help ?
Image Analyst

I think you need to add blocks to your flowchart, like "connected components labeling" (bwlabel) and "feature extraction" (or whatever you want to call the use of the regionprops() function), like I already told you above, and show you in BlobsDemo.

is there another way to detect defects in the image that I have. My method was rejected by the faculty, can you help me what I should do in order to identify the image
for k = 1:length(B)
boundary = B{k};
plot(boundary(:,2), boundary(:,1), 'black', 'LineWidth', 1)
end
stats = regionprops(L,'Perimeter', 'MajorAxisLength','EquivDiameter', 'Area');
I have followed the commands you give, but my college teacher does not allow to use it because it had previously been used by senior. please help me.im confused to ask to whom

Hello
I have used your algorithm for Crack detection in the pavement but doesn't helped. I have made an algorithm for detection of crack based on sobel edge detection. the problem, there are lots of false positive which I want to remove and only remain the edges belong to cracks.
Regards

I don't see a question. If you have a question on MATLAB programming, you can start your own thread. But we give a lot more help on MATLAB programming and some, but not so much, on algorithm development.

Hi Dio,
I am using your code for my project work. I am not able identify the dent in the image which i have attached. Please can u help out in this regards

That code is not appropriate for dents. And, an optical image like that is not good for dents anyway. You need a profilometer image, not just a regular optical camera snapshot.

thanks for ur reply...
but for other images i can find dents

That's nice. Post your own new thread if you need help. Show images that work and don't work.

y not on this image?
Image Analyst
Image Analyst on 12 Aug 2014
Because they're not profilometer images and you can't get depth from optical images. Plus there's a lot of clutter in the image. And the Crystal Ball Toolbox has not been released yet.

But i don't need to find depth of the image just i need to find dent in the image

Should have posted your own question like I asked and I would have answered. I'll check again in the morning for it.

Here is the MATLAB Crack segmentation and Crack width, length and area estimation codes to calculate/estimate the crack area, width and length. In addition, this package assumes the crack is segmented either using morphological method or multiscale gradient-based or deep learning semantic segmentation methods. This package estimates the crack area, width and length (pixel scale can be provided to estimate these physical quantities). Lastly, the semantic segmentation and object detection metrics for the cracks can be found using Cracks binary class bounding box and segmentation metrics package.
