Threshold Particle Measurement

Manual, Auto Bright, and Auto Dark methods are available to identify the intensity range of objects to be measured. Various calculations and measurements for selected particles include:

  • Dimensions
  • Area
  • Perimeter
  • Feret Length
  • Minimum & Maximum Radius
  • Thread Length
  • Thread Width
  • Fiber Length
  • Fiber Width

Segmentation

  • Measure area fraction and volume fraction.
  • Identify multiple phases within a microstructure.
  • Delineate phases using histogram-based analysis.

Report Generation

Three reporting options are available:

  • Direct printout with Original Image, Processed Image, and Tabulated Results.
  • Export reports to Microsoft Office or Microsoft Excel for further editing and analysis.

Count & Classification

  • Identify and count objects within an image.
  • Automatically or manually detect objects.
  • Obtain multiple feature measurements.
  • User-defined classification based on size or intensity.

Image Editing

  • Cut, Copy, Paste
  • Freehand Area of Interest (AOI) selection
