Abstract
This paper presents the application of symbolic dynamic analysis to two-dimensional images for the purpose of pattern recognition in temporal image sequences. A specific example of flaw detection in polycrystalline alloys via image sequences obtained from a camera mounted on a microscope is considered. An anomaly measure which indicates the severity of a crack with a quantifiable numerical value was derived using the D-Markov machine. Use of a region-of-interest based analysis of the statistical properties of pixels makes the pre-processing step of image registration redundant. The problem due to the presence of relative motion between successive frames of an image sequence does not significantly affect the detection of a fatigue crack when symbolic dynamics is used. A comparison of the performance of the algorithm in the presence and absence of registration of images is shown.
