Perform in-depth analysis, apply specialized parameters and filters for 3D (“areal”) surface texture characterization.
⇒ Subsurface analysis – extract geometric subsurfaces (e.g., component layers) from full surfaces segmented using the ISO 25178 watershed algorithm. Instantly calculate flatness and analyze subsurfaces with the same tools used for complete surfaces.
⇒ Extended surface texture and form parameters – access a broader range of parameters including ISO 25178 and EUR 15178 (Surfstand) functional volume, spatial, and hybrid parameters, as well as ISO 12781 flatness metrics.
⇒ Functional volume analysis (wear & lubrication) – visualize ISO 25178 and Sk volume parameters to support tribological studies. Assess peak, grain, or particle distribution and density for insights into surface function.
⇒ Fractal analysis – determine surface fractal dimensions using enclosing boxes or morphological envelope techniques.
⇒ Analyze surface isotropy, directionality & periodicity – compute values such as isotropy, periodicity, period length, and period direction. Visualize dominant surface orientations with a compass rose.
⇒ Map local surface properties – use sliding window analysis to calculate localized parameters and identify regions of increased roughness or complexity.
⇒ Morphological filtering – apply advanced filters like erosion, dilation, opening, closing, and sequential operations using planar or spherical structuring elements.
⇒ MATLAB™ compatibility & mathematical operations – run custom MATLAB™ scripts for advanced data processing, including filtering. Perform algebraic operations on images and surfaces.
⇒ Circular profile analysis – extract circular profiles and represent abscissa values in degrees.
⇒ Furrow analysis – identify and display furrows based on height thresholds. Compute furrow metrics such as maximum depth, average depth, and density.
⇒ Extended file format support – import data from commercial 3D scanning profilometers, confocal microscopes, interferometers, and other high-resolution imaging systems.
