The shape characteristic measurement of different densities fibre structure

The shape characteristic measurement of different densities fibre structure comes via the edge projection optical profilometry of computer controls Obtain.The physical size of optical profilometer systematic survey test surfaces, the side in producing apparent height (z) to x-y plane The collection of illustrative plates of displacement.Suitable optical profilometer apparatus will be with the visual field and x-y resolution so that the image of collection has line At least 10 pixels of the property across measured most narrow feature.Suitably apparatus is GFM Mikrocad systems or equivalent, its Edition 4 or 6 ODSCAD softwares is run, purchased from GFMessthechnik GmbH (Teltow, Germany).

If desired, in order that sample suitably reflects the accurate measurement of surface texture, sprayed with superfine white powder Mist slightly sprays surface to be measured.Preferably, the aerosol apparatus are purchased from Helling GmbH (Heidgraben, Germany) NORD-TEST Developer U89, its sell for detect metal object and welding crackle.Before this spraying is applied Soon, sample should be balanced under 23 DEG C ± 2 DEG C and 50% ± 2% relative humidity at least 2 hours, and is balanced after spraying At least 2 hours.Carefully only deposition produces the minimum white spraying required for thin reflective white coating.

Sample should be balanced under 23 DEG C ± 2 DEG C and 50% ± 2% relative humidity soon before carrying out the measurements to Few 2 hours.

The region of fibre structure to be measured is only limitted to the region with different densities area and does not include that may be present Other regions or area.Place sample the surface of band measurement is faced up, below the projection head of profilograph and vertical with which Directly.According to the explanation of equipment manufacturers, and the illumination and reflection of the realization optimization that is summarized according to manufacturer are required.Trap and protect Deposit digital picture.

Any part of the image for not being region part to be measured should be dismissed from the image of trapping.Such cutting must be Carry out before any further image procossing, filtration or measurement analysis.Depend on the size of the pattered region of the sample, institute The size of the cut image for obtaining can change between sample and image.

Before carrying out the measurements, image can be processed in apparatus software, with the noise in somewhat smoothed image, and reduce by The scrambling produced in the overall shape of sample and fluctuation.The noise filtration treatment includes removing inactive pixels value (those There is at the black extreme of tonal range the black picture element of gray value), and (those are used as system to remove kurtosis or anomaly peak The very bright pixel that meter exceptional value is recognized by software).Then multinomial high pass filter is utilized with following setting：N=8 is poor Value.For the sample with very little feature, in the case where which is difficult to pattern characteristics are clearly viewed, in addition using Fourier Leaf wave filter is (for example：5mm ripple filters, fine structure result) it is probably useful.When using the Fourier filters, its The feature bigger than filter length is removed as noise, and therefore reduces fluctuation, reduce the statistics near shape characteristic measured value Standard deviation.It is therefore important that the size of filter device therefor is more than any structure of interest, in order to avoid filter out the feature. Image through processing, all shape characteristic images as shown in figure 14 can be shown, analyze and measure.Then Figure 14 is cropped simultaneously The scrambling produced with the total ripple removed due to sample via being flattened with multinomial (n=8 differences) filters filter.

Then measured by the shape characteristic image through processing to obtain spatial parameter difference in height (E) and transition region field width Degree (T).These measurements draw linearity sector of interest using apparatus software in the shape characteristic image on the x-y surfaces of sample Domain, then realizes along these straight line gernertion height scattergrams.Draw linearity region of interest so that they are across continuum Domain and the center in adjacent discrete area, to the multiple diverse location samplings in each image.Draw line so that they are with perpendicular to mistake Cross the angle of region major axis by each transitional region between continuum and discrete regions to point, as shown in figure 15.Such as Figure 15 institutes Show, draw a series of linearity regions of interest across continuum and discrete regions, which is with the angle perpendicular to transitional region major axis By each transitional region to dividing.Then from height scattergram measurement parameter (E) and (T), the height scattergram is paid close attention to by these Linearity region produce.

In height scattergram, the x- axles of figure represent the length of line, and y- axles are represented perpendicular to the surface of sample plane Vertical height.Difference in height (E) is in mircrometer gauge as the peak maximum on height scattergram shown in Figure 16 to adjacent recessed portion The vertical line distance of minimum point is measuring.As shown in figure 16, painted along linearity region of interest by shape characteristic image The height of system distribution plot shows multiple differences in height (E) measured value.Generally, this represent between continuum and adjacent discrete area Maximum vertical height poor, or vice versa as the same.Transitional region width (T) is distributed as height as shown in figure 17 in mircrometer gauge On figure across the center 60 (60%) percent of difference in height (E) curve x- axial extents measuring.As shown in figure 17, pass through Shape characteristic image distribution plot shows multiple transitional region width (T) along the height drawn by linearity region of interest.Logical Often, this speed from continuum to adjacent discrete area that change from of representative, or vice versa as the same.

Have in sample in the case of seeming to be divided into the discrete regions of two or more discrete types, such as seen by estimating Examine determine they overall shape, size, height and density, independent (E) and (T) value then will for every kind of discrete regions type with The adjacent continuous region of pairing is measured.

If sample is rendered obvious by out the pattern with more than one discrete regions in the various location of product, each figure Case will all have (E) and (T) value determined independently of one or more of the other pattern.

If sample has first area and adjacent second area, wherein described first area and second area are at them Apparent height on be rendered obvious by out difference, then product will have from (E) and (T) values of these area measures.In such case Under, will illustrate according to all methods given herein and first area and second area replace the continuum described in the method Domain and discrete regions.

For each pattern to be tested, the outturn sample of five parallel assays is imaged, and comes from each The measurement of replicate samples, by ten of at least ten differences in height (E) and each discrete regions type of each discrete regions type Transitional region width (T) is constituted.For each plane of each sample repeats the process.Record from have (E) most (E) and (T) value of the plane of big value.Just for each parameter that concrete pattern and discrete regions type are calculated, will be from five In individual replicate samples, the value of each is together averagely obtaining the end value of each parameter.
