Abstract

A new method is proposed for estimating the quantitative analysis of the composition of two-component composites from an image. This method does not rely on a binarization threshold and offers greater accuracy compared to traditional methods that do. It is robust to contrast changes and performs well across a wide range of image contrasts.
