Analysis of microtomographic images of porous heterogeneous materials
In this work, we study the phases of image processing chain of microtomographic imag-
ing in order to obtain reliable results while optimizing the time spent on denoising and
segmentation. We consider that the decisions made at the early phases of the processing
chain are most important and the selection made there essentially determine the overall
quality of imaging process. We also compare here various denoising method qualita-
tively, however, we think that the pure noise removal ability is not the only requirement
for noise removal in microtomographic images. By proper denoising we can affect selec-
tion of segmentation methods and, thus, also the quality of the analysis. Additionally, at
the end, we also review the image segmentation and analysis methods commonly used in
microtomographic imaging.

Characterization of three-dimensional microstructure of composite materials by X-ray tomography
Miettinen, Arttu (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)Analysis methods for X-ray microtomographic images of short fibre composite materials were developed. The methods enable estimation of microstructural properties of the material, e.g., aspect ratio and orientation of ... -
X-ray computed tomography and numerical analysis of water-saturated porous materials
Siltanen, Heli (2012)A method for imaging a water-saturated porous material is developed in order to simulate a fluid flow through it using the Lattice Boltzmann method. The value of its flow permeability is compared to the value for the same ... -
Low-Dose Mouse Micro-CT Image Segmentation Based on Multi-Resolution Multi-Organ Shape Prior Knowledge Model
Chen, Zhonghua; Wang, Hongkai; Cong, Fengyu; Kettunen, Lauri (IEEE, 2022)Automatic segmentation of computed tomography (CT) images of mice is a step toward computer-assisted preclinical image analysis. Due to the low image quality of micro-CT images, fully-automatic methods may not achieve ... -
How and why does willow biochar increase a clay soil water retention capacity?
Rasa, Kimmo; Heikkinen, Jaakko; Hannula, Markus; Arstila, Kai; Kulju, Sampo; Hyväluoma, Jari (Elsevier Ltd., 2018)Addition of biochar into a soil changes its water retention properties by modifying soil textural and structural properties. In addition, internal micrometer-scale porosity that is able to directly store readily plant ... -
The effect of steric hindrance on the packing of elongated objects
Ekman, Axel (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)Fibres of various materials can be deposited to form planar mats of fibres. These kinds of structures have gained substantial attention owing to their direct relation to both large industrial fields, such as paper and ...
