Composite Materials
Composite materials are formed by combining two or materials to produce a new material with improved properties such as greater strength and flexibility. Composite materials generally contain both a fibrous reinforcement and a binding matrix.
Analysis of the proportion of reinforcement, matrix and extraneous elements such as pores or faults is an essential element of characterizing composite material. The Image-Pro Composite Materials protocols divide this process into a series of easy steps and allows analysis of large volumes of data in complex formats as well as the analysis of multiple folders of images with little to no image analysis experience.
Techniques: Brightfield
How it works
Select Channel
Select the channel that contains the composite material and apply calibrations.
Separate from Background
Apply a region that separates the composite material from the background.
Measure
Measure the area of reinforcement fibers, matrix, and other elements using machine learning or a deep learning model.
Quantitative results
Automatically generate tables, heat maps, charts and even complex bespoke reports.
