The program is intended for image analysis in materials science. This program provides the opportunity to study a wide range of structure materials (metals, alloys, ceramics, diamonds, geological, and forensic facilities, etc.).
Basic software features are as follows:
The basis of this software are methods – adjusted and stored operation sequences connected with processing images, performed in the automated mode.
If necessary the user can adapt any of the methods for his/her task, changing the sets of methods operation.
- Improvement of quality;
- Clipping;
- Enlarged focus;
- Manual measurements;
- Granulometry;
- Graininess;
- Percent of quantity;
- Phase analysis and stereology;
- Sponginess;
- Linking of histograms;
- Archiving
The delivery set may contain special methods, developed for solving user’s specific tasks. Special methods may be introduced in the software on a commercial basis. These methods are protected using an electronic key, and cannot be changed.
Key functions of the software:
- Input of images using television and digital cameras, scanner, opening images from files, copying them from the buffer;
- Receiving a sharp image from the series of images, whose parts are out of focus;
- Performance of manual measurements (linear, angular, circle radius, calculation of number of objects and etc.);
- Automated emphasize of objects and phases on the image considering brightness and color;
- Automated measurement of emphasized objects, provision of measurement results in the table form Wide opportunities for classification of objects, statistical analysis of received information, construction of diagrams and graphics of dependence;
- Transfer of images and received results into the built in data base;
- Detailed statistical analysis of received data including construction of distribution bar charts, calculation of stereological parameters.
Additional features:
- Image conversion using filters (increase of brightness, contrast and visual quality of initial image, morphological transformations);
- Applying graphics (contours and lines) on the image to emphasize elements of interest;
- Possibility to work with a series of images, related to one experiment or sample, and results of their measurements as part of one document. Convenient examination of information. Storing a series of images with the results of measurements in one document;
- Storing images and received results, printing them out in the form of standard reports;
- Function of software calibration to perform measurements of objects in real values. The version of software for manual measurements is available for operation in interactive mode.
Basic software features are as follows:
- input of images using television and digital cameras (including 8,10,12, 16 bit), scanner, opening images from files, copying them from the buffer;
- dealing with a series of images, related to one experiment, sample or preparation, and results of their measurements as part of one document;
- storing a series of images with the results of measurements in one document;
- transformation of images using filters;
- applying texts, graphics as well as figures and lines to emphasize elements of interest on the image, possibility of graphics exchange among images;
- automated “clipping” of images;
- receiving a sharp image from the series of images, whose parts are out of focus;
- linear and angular measurements, calculation of number of objects;
- automated measurements for contours of objects applied manually (about 40 parameters);
- statistical processing of measurement results, transfer of data into MS Excel;
- possibility to create multi-page reports;
- storing images and data, printing out.
