Particle measurement/statistics calculation
Condition classification based on particle feature values, separation of adjacent particles
It is possible to measure the shape of all kinds of particles and cells, from metal particles to animal cells.
By setting a range, it is also possible to measure the shape within the specified range.
Statistical data can also be calculated from the measured data at the same time.
Analysis from setting the extraction particle conditions to determining OK/NG can be measured instantly.
It also has a function to edit the state of extracted particles.
Equipped with an amazing multi-value function!
Equipped with a multi-value function that allows binarization processing to be performed multiple times. Various objects in images can be identified and measured.
This is a much-anticipated feature that eliminates the need to process the same image over and over again, allowing analysis work to be done in just one go.
Circular/polygonal particle measurement
When particles overlap each other, it is difficult to perform normal particle analysis. With this function, it is possible to separate the overlap between these particles and measure their diameter, area, etc.
Automatic line width measurement
Automatically measures the line width for multiple lines lined up on the screen. At this time, in addition to each average width, you can also obtain all data for each line. It can be used to inspect defects such as narrowing of the width in a certain area. It also supports LER (Line-Edge Roughness) and LWR (Line-Width Roughness) that comply with SEMI standards.
Color image analysis
It is possible to extract specific colors (RGB, HLS) from color images and perform particle analysis. After analysis, it can also be applied to create frequency distributions and output Excel reports.
Height profile measurement
Height, width, and approximate R can be measured from the acquired 3D data.
*3D data in a compatible manufacturer format is required for analysis.
Concentration profile measurement
Profile measurement of concentration data on any line is possible.
In addition, the acquired data can be output to the measurement list.
Special region (mask ROI) creation
It is now possible to create special regions (mask ROI) that could not be created with conventional measurement region creation tools (ROI). You can further specify and measure colors within the mask ROI.
Automatic processing tools
By using automatic processing tools, specific image analysis and measurement procedures can be registered as a single command. Registered commands can be called at any time from WinROOF, greatly improving your work efficiency.
Automatic processing tools
If the image analysis/measurement procedure is a standard one, you can analyze it efficiently by registering the procedure as one command.
To create automatic processing, you can create a macro by simply following the actual measurement steps in order. Also, if you want to change parameters for each measurement, just check the registered commands and you can make fine adjustments.
Toolbar/function key registration
Created automatic processes can be registered to toolbars, menus, and function keys. When running an automatic process, you can use a shortcut by simply selecting the icon or command on the left. Up to 10 items can be registered in the toolbar.
Timer interval function
By using the interval function, it can be automatically executed repeatedly at fixed time intervals. It is possible to measure images that change over time. Additionally, by using the timer function, automatic processing can be executed at a specified time, making it possible to prevent omissions in measurement.
Application examples of automatic processing tools
①By using the timer interval function, you can perform time-lapse in conjunction with the camera.
Camera images are taken at set times and analyzes that meet the user’s requirements can be processed all at once.
For example, by continuously analyzing each frame, it is possible to track the degree of change in the features of the object being photographed.
Please contact us for compatible camera models.
②This enables batch processing of a large number of images acquired under the same measurement environment (image size, imaging magnification, etc.).
You can significantly improve the efficiency of your work time.
③By using function key registration, anyone can measure the same data with a single button.
For example, all you have to do is press the registered button, such as the “F1” button to perform process A and the “F2” button to perform process B.
By combining extensive analysis functions, anyone can easily perform optimal processing.
Filtering
It is possible to perform enhancement and improvement processing on various images such as microscopes, digital microscopes, SEMs, and X-ray CTs.
Lens aberration correction
Aberrations caused by lenses can greatly affect measurement results, but this function can correct these aberrations.
Multicolor composition (pseudocolorization)
This function allows you to combine captured fluorescent images and metal-containing images in pseudo color to observe the position of fluorescent markers, etc.
Image calculation
By performing calculations between images, OK/NG measurements such as missing dots can be easily performed.
Light unevenness correction
Lens aberrations may cause the four corners of the image to become dark, but this function can be used to remove unevenness.
Filtering
You can create images that are effective for analysis by making full use of various filters, such as enhancing image edges and removing image noise.
Fourier transform
It is possible to create a clearer image by replacing the image with frequencies and removing frequencies in certain areas.
Watershed – Splitting dense particles
Watershed segmentation is one of the area segmentation methods, and is a function that identifies the connections between objects and effectively separates them when extracting objects that are likely to be connected with each other using normal binary extraction. It can also be applied to the analysis of connected colonies and cells on a petri dish, as well as the analysis of particles such as irregularly shaped powders.
Solving separation problems in image analysis
Watershed Segmentation refers to a watershed, basin, or fork in a river. An image is created in which the brightness increases from the edge toward the center of the particle, and the brightness gradient of the image is regarded as a mountain ridge, and the area created by water flowing from a high position on the mountain is divided into one area. It is called this because of the algorithm that performs this.
We provide a new solution for analyzing particles and cells that are difficult to extract and count using conventional image analysis. Even if the particles scattered on the screen have various shapes, their constrictions can be recognized and separated.
Even particles that are difficult to extract can be accurately separated and counted and measured.
Spaces without particles are not processed, and all particles can be counted. After processing, the shape characteristics of each particle (area, equivalent circle diameter, absolute maximum length, acicular ratio, etc.) can be measured, and particle size distribution etc. can also be evaluated.

Features
Abundant dimension measurement tools
Equipped with a coordinate setting tool, it is possible to measure in the workpiece coordinate system even during on-screen measurements. It also supports dimension measurement in various situations such as distance between two points, angle, number of pieces, circle, rectangle, polygon, etc. Furthermore, approximation tools are also available to handle ambiguous circles, lines, etc.
Measurement assist function
Enlarges the point pointed by the mouse cursor when supporting a measurement point. It reduces errors caused by mouse clicks and enables more accurate measurements. You can also adjust the magnification rate and display the grid. You can also easily scale the image by scrolling with your mouse.
When the mouse cursor is brought close to the edge, human error by the fit measurer is automatically reduced and accurate measurements are possible. This function automatically fits the edge when you click near the edge when supporting a measurement point. It can be applied to all scenes to be plotted, such as when setting calibration or when specifying measurement pointers for multiple points.
Camera control & scale settings
Camera control allows automatic image storage and database creation.
Comments can be entered when registering a calibration, so even if there are multiple input devices, you can select one without making a mistake.
Halation removal/HDR synthesis
By using unique image processing when photographing glossy samples, it is possible to suppress glare in the image and generate an optimal image without reducing the image quality of the surrounding areas. The operation is as simple as adjusting the lighting and camera exposure, so you can instantly adjust it to suit your sample.
Focus compositing
