The Gray-level Co-occurrence Matrix Approach to Measure Uniformity of Fuji Prescale Pressure Sensitive Film Samples

Abstract

Fuji scaled pressure sensitive films (FPPSF) are used in many sciences, especially for mechanical-based measurements. Since these films are paper-based sensors, the measurement values are mostly found manually after a series of processing according to the ambient conditions. The accuracy of the measurement results depends on the calibration process. However, there is no determination method regarding the accuracy of these processes in the literature. The aim of this study is to point out the subjects that may affect the accuracy, especially during the experimental calibration and to recommend a new method in order to evaluate the homogeneity in particular. To evaluate the homogeneity of the calibration data produced for this purpose, the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) was used and statistically compared with the relevant calibration curves presented in the current literature. As a result, the energy property parameter of GLCM was found to be applicable to control the image smoothness of the samples to realize the accuracy of the generated curve.
