Particle Shape Analysis

Automation-Focused Particle Shape Analysis with MIPAR
Our goal is straightforward: to automate as much of your particle shape analysis as possible, through either fully automated or supervised workflows. MIPAR eliminates the need for manual point counting or annotation. Simply open an image, load your tailored recipe, and generate a report ready to share, streamlining the classification of particles and their shapes with precision.
 
Comprehensive Particle Shape Analysis Overview
Particle shape analysis is vital for assessing material quality and predicting material properties such as mechanical performance. MIPAR enables accurate and efficient particle shape analysis, providing critical insights into how particle geometry impacts material behavior, ensuring reliable classification of particles.
 
Overcoming Challenges in Particle Shape Analysis
Automating particle shape analysis presents challenges due to the wide variability in particle shapes and the complexity of defining and measuring shape parameters for diverse geometries. High-resolution imaging is essential to capture detailed shape information, particularly for particles with fine features or irregular shapes. Differentiating individual particles from agglomerates and accounting for particle orientation influence on shape adds further complexity to the classification of particles. Ensuring consistency in shape analysis algorithms and sample preparation is crucial for accurate and reliable shape characterization.
 
MIPAR’s Solution for Particle Shape Analysis
By combining robust Deep Learning models with conventional image analysis approaches, MIPAR quickly and accurately detects particles. Once detected, particle shapes can be measured using roundness, roughness, or advanced shape measurements. Furthermore, particle satellites can be quantified by accurately detecting particle overlap, providing comprehensive particle shape analysis and classification of particles.
 
Advantages of Using MIPAR for Particle Shape Analysis
Save time, eliminate inter-operator variability, and gain a deeper understanding of your particle microstructure while gaining confidence in the quality of your particle shape analysis and classification measurements.
 
Who Can Benefit?
MIPAR is ideal for materials scientists, researchers, and quality control professionals in the particle manufacturing industry who require precise and efficient particle shape analysis and classification of particles.
 
Technical Details
MIPAR supports over 150 file types from a wide range of instruments and manufacturers, including automated calibration and metadata import. Micrographs can be processed in batches, and MIPAR includes a batch review environment to ensure detection and measurement accuracy. The software runs locally on your workstation, ensuring security without the need for an internet connection.
