IMAGE ANALYSIS
Image processing software and analysis methods for evaluating material surfaces.
WHAT IS IMAGE ANALYSIS?
Image analysis is a technique used in metallography and materials science to determine the microstructural properties of samples. Thanks to software and systems capable of automatic and precise measurements, it becomes possible to optimize quality control and R&D processes through detailed sample analysis.
Metkon offers solutions for various image analysis needs with its Imagin Series.
Metkon’s Image Analysis Solutions Metkon’s Imagin series consists of specialized software and systems developed for metal and material analysis. Each is designed for a specific analysis requirement:
Imagin Mesura 200: Precision dimensional measurements
Imagin Grano 200: Grain size analysis
Imagin Nodula 200: Graphite nodule analysis
These systems provide ideal solutions for quality control, R&D, and academic studies in the industry with their user-friendly interfaces and high precision.
Imagin Mesura 200: Precision Dimensional Measurement
IMAGIN MESURA 200 has several measurement tools for performing manual measurements of lines, curves, angles, areas etc. after which they can be saved and archived. Many application areas exist like “Weld Assessments, Macro analysis, PCB component measurements etc. With ‘Annotation’ facility, it is possible to add comments, graphics, arrows etc. directly on the image allowing you to label specific areas of interest.
IMAGIN MESURA 200 allows you to design your own template or select one of METKON’s standard templates for “Report Generation” where the text and images are automatically placed. When required, it is also possible to transfer data directly to Excel for further processing
Features:
- Precise dimensional measurements and geometric analysis
- Automatic contour and edge detection
- Calibration and repeatable measurement
- User-friendly interface with customizable reporting
Imagin Grano 200: Grain Size Analysis
IMAGIN GRANO module has been designed for automatic measurement of grain size according to ASTM E112 and EN ISO 643. Firstly, the grain boundaries are detected after which the grain size can be calculated in different ways;
“Intercept Method” counts the number of intersection in each field and the grain size is calculated by Abrams 3-circle or Linear Equations. “Area Method” determines the size of each individual grain by area after which the grains are categorized for the calculation of fractions.
Features:
- Compliance with international standards such as ASTM E112 and ISO 643
- Automatic and manual grain boundary detection
- High-precision calculation algorithms
- Detailed graphical and statistical analysis
Imagin Nodula 200: Graphite Nodule Analysis
IMAGIN NODULA 200 module is designed for the analysis of graphite in cast irons especially in Ductile and Gray Iron Foundries and Quality Control Labs. Nodularity assessment is made by percent count and nodules proportion. It is also possible to measure “Area percent ferrite, Area percent graphite and Area percent Pearlite”. Archiving of all images with calibration and generating Reports creates an additional advantage to increase productivity and repeatability.
Features:
- Analysis compliant with ASTM A247 and related standards
- Nodule shape, size, and distribution analysis
- Automatic phase segmentation and classification
- User-friendly reporting tool
