Fractography
Segment ductile dimple, cleavage, fatigue, and intergranular regions on fracture surfaces.
Example outputs shown for illustration. Numbers depend on your samples and protocol.
Results
Each measurement below comes from your own images, tied back to the annotated frame it came from, so results stay comparable across samples, locations, and conditions.
per area
Region map
Findings placed in sample coordinates to reveal spatial patterns and local density.
In your report: Coordinate-referenced map, regional density, and representative images.
µm or count
Dimple size
Size and shape measured for every detected object, then summarized across the population.
Example, not a claimed result
In your report: Per-object table, size distribution, and summary percentiles.
count or µm
Init.-site flags
Visible surface features detected, measured, and located against the reviewed image.
In your report: Per-feature list with size, position, and annotated overlays.
class
Mode fraction
Each detected feature assigned to a class using the agreed rule set, shown on the image.
In your report: Per-feature class, counts by class, and annotated overlays.
Built around your image set
Use the calibrated images your team already collects, together with the locations you need to compare.
Each report includes
The artifacts your team receives, ready for review and archive.
Annotated image set
Original images with regions of interest, measurement points, masks, and finding overlays.
Measurement table
Location-indexed values, units, distributions, and QC flags in a structured export.
Method record
Calibration evidence, analysis settings, version history, and validation summary.
Confidence in every resultTraceable measurements, reviewed against your agreed reference method.
- Traceable scale
- The report records the image scale, calibration evidence, and a method-specific expanded measurement uncertainty. It does not use one product-wide accuracy number.
- Reference comparison
- The configured method is compared with your accepted reference method or reviewed annotations, and reports bias by measurement range and image condition.
- Detection performance
- Detections are evaluated against reviewed reference regions with precision, recall, and segmentation overlap, separated by the conditions that affect performance.
- Repeatability
- The locked protocol is rerun on the same inputs and on a defined repeat set. The review records variation from image acquisition, sampling, and analysis separately where possible.
What this result does not establish: Supports measurement and documentation of fracture features. It does not determine root cause on its own.
The measurement, today
Failure analysis depends on reading fracture morphology, but region mapping is qualitative and rarely quantified for comparison across parts.
From image to reviewed result
- 1
Calibrate the scale
Set spatial scale from a bar or known dimension. Every downstream number inherits real units.
- 2
Detect & segment
Segmentation models find the objects and regions of interest: grains, particles, pores, fibers, cells.
- 3
Measure
Quantify size, count, area fraction, density, and orientation. The metrics your method already defines.
- 4
Review the overlay
Inspect the result on every field. Adjust thresholds by hand; the change is logged with the output.
- 5
Export & compare
Publication-ready statistics, plus batch comparison across lots, conditions, and time points.
