The software has a variety of useful filters for edge detection, smoothing, and other purposes.

TruAI™ Deep-Learning Technology

Image segmentation using conventional threshold methods that depend on brightness or color can miss critical information or targets in samples. The Stream Enterprise data management TruAI solution offers a more accurate segmentation approach using deep-learning technology for a highly reproducible and robust analysis, including instance segmentation to split an image into individual instances of an object.

  • Intuitive user interface to efficiently label images and train robust models with excellent generalization properties
  • Pre-trained networks can be applied to future analyses for a similar application
  • Deep-learning image segmentation is useful for a range of materials science applications, including metallic analysis, semiconductor quality control, and mineralogy

Materials Solutions for Every Purpose

Solutions Descriptions
Grain Intercept Steel manufacturers use this solution for measuring and controlling grain size after cross-sectioning, polishing, or etching steel samples.
This function is based on overlaying of “test lines” and counting the number of intercepts with grain boundaries.
Grain Planimetric Steel manufacturers use this solution for measuring and controlling grain size after cross-sectioning, polishing, or etching steel samples.
This function reconstructs boundaries for each grain and conducts grain sizing with the area percentage of the second phase.
Non-Metallic Inclusions Steel manufacturers use this solution for measuring and controlling the shape and size of nonmetallic inclusions (oxide, alumina, sulfide, or silicate) in steel.
Cast Iron Casting manufacturers who need to measure and control the graphite nodularity and check the mechanical characteristics of their cast products use this solution.
Chart Comparison A live or still image can be overlaid onto standard charts for comparison. Function preview is available.
Dendrite Arm Spacing This solution is used to manually or automatically determine the mean dendrite arm spacing in cast aluminum.
Layer Thickness One or multiple layers of a cross-sectioned sample can be measured using the Layer Thickness solution. The shapes are defined, and the layers automatically measured.
Coating Thickness This solution enables the measurement of coating thickness from top-view images using the Calotest method.
Automatic Measurements This solution is used for creating measurements based on edge-detection on a live image with pattern recognition.
Throwing Power This solution measures the distribution of copper plating thickness in through-holes or micro-vias.
Porosity This solution enables pores to be measured either for area fraction or the number of surface pores using ROIs (circular, triangular, rectangular, and polygonal) and thresholds.
Particle Distribution This solution is used to create particle size distribution histograms and tables from multiple images or image series.
Advanced Phase Analysis This feature offers a new integrated solution to perform phase analysis on a selection of various regions of interest (ROIs) including triangles, circles, rectangles, and polygons.
