Obtain a deeper understanding of your material with machine learning
Microscopy enables researchers to gain a deep understanding of the link between a material’s properties and structure to aid in developing novel materials. Microscopy image segmentation is currently one of the biggest bottlenecks in quantifying material structure. Traditional microstructure quantification requires manual measurements and can be time-consuming and error-prone.

Advanced Segmentation for Industrial Materials Using Machine Learning
Every quantitative analysis of a set of micrographs involves some form of segmentation. A region could be a mineral fragment, a grain in a metal, a pore in a composite, an oil contamination on the surface, a blood cell – any area differentiable from a neighboring area. By analysing these regions or the borders between regions, we get useful information. There are several standards for determining useful microstructural properties by image analysis of segmented images – e.g. for grain size, inclusion content, and porosity. These analyses, however, depend on the accuracy and reliability of the segmentation results.
