Özet

This study aims to analyze the textural features extracted from microscopic images of elastomeric and plastomeric type polymer modified bitumen (PMB) including five different types and contents of polymers. Fluorescence microscopy was used to capture microscopic images from thin films of PMB samples at different magnification scales (400x, 100 x, and 40x). Gabor filters were utilized to extract the textural features of bitumen images. The features were used in three different query tests to quantify their representation capacity. The K nearest neighbor classifier was tested using leave-one-out cross validation. Textural analysis on the captured images provided numerical results that are in compliance with subjective visual tests.
