The SPIP™ Particle & Pore Analysis module allows users to easily detect and quantify grains, pores, particles, cells and other details with boundaries in an image.
Features of the Particle & Pore Analysis Module
Users can either use a standardized technique for fast and easy results, or can opt for a different detection technique to suit the specific surface details of various surfaces. Users can also adjust the settings to suit their unique requirements.
Post Processing
The module is available with numerous easy-to-use post-processing tools. Users can remove unnecessary pores or particles depending on their shape or size. The tools can also be used to smooth the detected contours.
Various Display Options
Users can choose from numerous display modes such as fiber, semi-transparent, filled, skeleton and contour mode, for the detected details. Particles can also be colored by parameters such as area, aspect ratio, or height.
Classification Editor
The classification tools allow users to group the detected pores and particles into different categories based on their characteristics, including size, geometrical shape, or height.
Classification results can be visualized in new charts, and reports for series of images completing the task can also be generated (Figure 1).
Figure 1. SPIP™ Particle & Pore Analysis module enables users to classify and visualize results.
Collections
Often statistical significance is achieved by recording several images from different parts of the studied surface. With Collections, particles detected over many images can be accumulated into one big table so that statistics and charts, and classifications can be generated from a sufficiently high number of particles.

Reporting and Automation
The automation facility enables users to efficiently conduct batch processing of images in large numbers. Reports can be obtained in either HTML or MS Word format, to complete the work.
