IMAGE PROCESSING

Background subtraction and contrast enhancement of color or grayscale images

MEASUREMENT

1. Spatial calibration
2. Line measurements for Distance, Length, Width, Perimeter, Angle, Three Point Radius.
3. Area by enclosed line controlled by four arrow keys available on keyboard arrows with zoomed preview.

COUNT AND CLASSIFICATION

Identification of objects in an image, count them, obtain several features measurements. Objects identification by user or automatically. User defined classification on basis of size or intensity.

 

THRESHOLD PARTICLE MEASUREMENT :

Manual, Auto bright and Auto dark methods to identify intensity range defined object to be measured. Various calculation & measurements available for selected Particle are; Dimensions, Area, Perimeter, Feret Length, Min/Max Radius, Thread Length, Thread Width, Fibre Length, Fibre Width.

MORPHOMETERY

Roundness, Shape, Orientation, Elongation, Equal Circular Diameter, Equal Sphere Volume.

PHASE

Measure area fraction & volume fraction. Identify multiple phases within Microstructure. Also delineate phases from the histogram as per ASTM Standard E562 & E1245.

NODULES

MEASURE Nodularity as per ASTM 247 standard. The Nodules & Flakes are separated on the  basis of its shape and aspect ratio.

The detail measurement of each microstructure is available for further analysis.

The processed image displays non-Nodules in different color.

The Nodules can be classify by its range on the basis of its size & shape.

POROSITY

They are recognized on the basis of its intensity as per ASTM B-276 standard. The measurement of each pore is displayed. The processed image displays pores in Red color.

COATING THICKNESS

This application rapidly measures the thickness or width of a coating at multiple positions along a sample as per ASTM B487 standard.

Tabulated results available for min/max and mean of width measured at various points of sample cross section.

DECARBURISATION

Measured depth or width of decarburisation occurs as per ASTM 1077 standard.

GRAIN SIZE

The module analyze Grain image and measure the Grain no. & Grain size using ASTM E 112 method.

The options for measurement available are 1. Manual Trace, 2. Popular Comparison Method, 3. Quick single Grain measurement, 4. ALA method, 5. Interception method.

Various filters to make user defined templates. Grain boundary repair mathematical function.

NON METALIC INCLUSION

Measure inclusions and report ASTM E-45, E-1245 numbers, cumulative length, width ratio.

GRAPHITE FLAKES

Graphite Flakes length, width, distribution and percentage as per ASTM A-247-67

REPORT

1. Three options: Direct printout with original image processed Image & Tabular results

Export to MS Office or Excel for further modification.
