Abstract
Method for processing the three-dimensional digital image of the surface of a tyre in which the three-dimensional image of the said surface is captured while assigning to each pixel of the plane of the image an item of information relating to the elevation of this point with respect to the surface to be inspected, characterized in that, with the aid of a morphological operator using a structuring element, a first transformation of the image of the surface is performed with the aid of an opening and then of a closing, so as to tailor the grey level of the pixels situated abnormally above or below the surface to be inspected.

6. A method for processing an image of a surface of a tyre, in which a three-dimensional digital image of the surface is captured, in which each pixel of a plane of the image is assigned an item of information relating to an elevation of the pixel with respect to the surface, the method comprising steps of:
-
utilizing a morphological operator that includes an opening and a closing and that uses a structuring element of given size and shape to perform a first transformation of the image of the surface so as to tailor a grey level of pixels situated abnormally above or below the surface; determining elements of contours of relief of the surface using a gradient-type morphological operator, and then performing a thresholding operation to extract the contours of the relief of the surface; and performing a second transformation of the image of the surface by assigning to each pixel of a contour a value of a grey level equal to a value obtained from the first transformation. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
