Results

What the analysis returns, tied back to the image it came from.

Thickness Statistics

Report average thickness, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, range, and individual measurement points from the sample image.

Adjustable Porosity Threshold

Use a grayscale threshold slider to define black pore regions, then export porosity percentage, pore count, and overlay masks for review.

Vickers Hardness Measurements

Measure both indentation diagonals, record the applied load, calculate hardness when calibration inputs are available, and export dimensioned images.

Calibrate to Real-World Units

Set scale from a scale bar or known feature so thickness, pore size, and indentation diagonals report in microns. Without calibration, results stay in pixels.

Coating Thickness & Porosity with ConductVision Image

Analyze coating cross-sections and hardness-test images with one repeatable ConductVision workflow. The protocol measures average coating thickness, standard deviation, minimum and maximum thickness, black-area porosity with an adjustable grayscale threshold, and Vickers indentation diagonals for dimensioned image exports.

Talk to a scientist

Not sure this is the right measurement?

Send a representative image and your measurement goal. A ConductVision scientist will confirm whether this is the right fit, or point you to the closer workflow, before you commit to a quote.
