The evolution of structural defects during phase transition is of great significance to the understanding of the mechanism of solid-liquid transition. However, the current research on topological defects still uses the pair-correlation function and the orientational order correlation function, so it is difficult to quantify the detailed changes of structural defects locally. In this paper, the local volume fraction is proposed as a key parameter to accurately quantify the variation of structural defects. The experimental results indicate that the evolution of structural defects in the particle system is caused by the decrease of local volume fraction, so the critical value of phase transition could be determined by the minimum local volume fraction. Furthermore, according to the evolution law of structural defects, it can be deduced that the phase transition is continuous, which is consistent with the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young theory. Therefore, the quantitative analysis of structural defects by using local volume fraction can help make the mechanism of solid-liquid phase transformation clearer.
