Morphological scale-space to differentiate microstructures of food products
نویسندگان
چکیده
We will construct a morphological scale-space using closings at logarithmically sampled scales. From this, we derive a measure for the pore-size distribution. We will apply this method to images of food products, acquired using confocal microscopy, to demonstrate how it can be used to differentiate the microstructure of these products. The microstructures are responsible for important macroscopic properties (firmness, foaming characteristics and mouth-feel). Two applications will be discussed: analysis of monoglycerides, and detection of subtle changes in the microstructure of a dairy product due to different treatments.

Flower shaped antimony oxide (Sb2O3) microstructures were synthesized in a large quantity via simple solution method using aqueous mixtures of antimony chloride and hexamethylene diamine (HMDA). The morphological characterizations were done by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), which revealed that the synthesized products possess flower-shaped microstructures. The detailed str...
