The impact of the image resolution on the value of measured geometric parameters on the example of ductile iron structure

Paper presents the influence of the image resolution on measurement geometric parameters of the objects. Employing as test images the ductile iron structure images allow to analyze the effect of resolution distortion on a model of objects with regular shape. Authors showed on the example images, how decreasing resolution of digital images distorts the value of the parameters describing the shape of the objects, its perimeter and its quantity. The analysis was performed by an automatic algorithm applying image analysis and stereological method.
