“…In this section, the above three parameters were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach for image extraction. To verify the performance of the optimal threshold, computational time, and unclassified rate evaluation for the characteristic parameters of a coal dust image, several approaches that are widely used to process particulate images were compared by using images of different particle sizes: multiscale image acquisition (MSIA) [26], Daubechies wavelet transform (DWT) [27], Frenkel-Halsey-Hill (FHH) [28], grey-level cooccurrence matrix (GLCM) [29], fuzzy C-means (FCM) [9], Gabor filter [30], FPM, and SFC. In the process of testing the simulations with the approaches in the above works, the adopted test conditions, such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, coal dust sample specifications and other parameters, are not the same, so the measured indexes are different.…”
