Materials image Analysis System

Digital Image Correlation(DIC) has been used in research labs for some years, but cost, complexity and compute have prevented a transition to routine testing. Cameras and AI are used in ever increasing areas of life of due to the significant improvements they bring in detection and analysis.

MiAS is image analysis specifically designed to improve monotonic BMD tests.

Description

MiAS can be used in place of standard I-FIT, Ideal CT and IDEAL RT frames

It can be used in any testing machine able to run monotonic BMD tests and will be directly integrated with the Humboldt HM-512A.

Cameras film both sides of the specimens under test

Integrated microscope lights provide consistent illumination

The user has the option to enter expanded test (meta) data

Videos and images are linked to date, time and embedded meta data for each test specimen

Prior to testing the software determines if specimens are correctly positioned by the technician

As MiAS is designed for 150mm diameter specimens, it can also be used to record images of Hamburg and OT specimens

QR codes can be used for frame and specimen tracking

The software measures and records changes in height and horizontal diameter

Future modules will detect and analyze crack propagation

MiAS can be used as a BMD machine verification tool, to assess performance under real test conditions

Images and meta data can be used in dispute resolution situations, or to investigate unexplained changes in results
