This book focuses on design and development of a unified framework for radiographic image analysis and interpretation with emphasis on defect classification. The framework is constructed by creating two ontologies namely process ontology and domain ontology. Process ontology structures information for performing gray scale image analysis and it is maintained as a knowledgebase. The images are analyzed by using the process plan which resulted in the enhanced images from which geometrical, statistical and textural features are extracted to construct domain ontology. In addition to that, details...
