An Automated Image Analysis Method for Measuring Fibre Contact in Fibrous and Composite Materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent advances in imaging technology have made it possible to capture three-dimensional (3D) images of pulp fibre based materials with high resolution (Antoine et al. 2002). This methodology can also be used for fibre-based composite materials. Analysis of such images can provide very detailed knowledge about the microstructure of the material, which in turn controls the mechanical properties. A computer generated image of fibre surfaces extracted from a high resolution 3D image of a pulp-fibre composite material is shown in Figure 1.

Background: Testicular cancer (TC) is usually diagnosed after manifestation of an overt tumour. Tumour formation is preceded by a pre-invasive and asymptomatic stage, carcinoma in situ (CIS) testis, except for very rare subtypes. The CIS cells are located within seminiferous tubules but can be exfoliated and detected in ejaculates with specific CIS markers. Materials and Methods: We have built ...
