The measurement, today

Inclusion ratings gate steel cleanliness acceptance, but chart-comparison rating is coarse and varies between inspectors.

From image to reviewed result

  1. 1

    Calibrate the scale

    Set spatial scale from a bar or known dimension. Every downstream number inherits real units.

  2. 2

    Detect & segment

    Segmentation models find the objects and regions of interest: grains, particles, pores, fibers, cells.

  3. 3

    Measure

    Quantify size, count, area fraction, density, and orientation. The metrics your method already defines.

  4. 4

    Review the overlay

    Inspect the result on every field. Adjust thresholds by hand; the change is logged with the output.

  5. 5

    Export & compare

    Publication-ready statistics, plus batch comparison across lots, conditions, and time points.
