An image processing method to sample the image to generate patches. Feature vectors are extracted from the patches, and the extracted feature vectors are partitioned into clusters, where feature vectors in the same cluster share a common characteristic. A portion of interest in the image is segmented. An aggregate bounding region creation process is carried out by finding the largest segment and creating a bounding box around it; determining which cluster contains the most patches within the bounding box of the segment; and adding the patches of the determined cluster to an aggregate bounding region for the portion of interest. The aggregate bounding region creation process is repeated for each other segment in order of size. The resulting aggregate bounding region contains all the patches associated with the portion of interest. The patches which fall outside the resulting aggregate bounding region are then removed from the image.

In the spark plug heat rating measurement method and system based on spark discharge current active heating, the spark plug is installed in a constant-temperature water jacket cooling chamber with a specific torque. A constant spark discharge current control module is connected to the high-voltage terminal of the spark plug, to provide real-time controlled discharge current to heat up the high-voltage central electrode of the spark plug. During the spark discharge process, the temperature change of the high-voltage central electrode and the surrounding ceramic insulator are measured by a temperature detection module and used to determine the heat rating of the spark plug. By real time adjusting the discharge current level of the spark plug, or providing a same amount of spark energy to the spark gap, the heat ratings of spark plugs with different ceramic insulation structures can be evaluated through the temperature changes during discharge or after discharge.
