IMAQ Vision Builder Applications in SEM Image Processing of Pharmaceutical Powders

Article Preview

Abstract:

IMAQ Vision includes a set of optimized functions for image processing (filtering and geometric transformations) and analysis of different areas of interest (perimeter, area, orientation, height, length and width). Also with this program, it may determine the edges of objects, distances and angles between the edges, an object can be searched based on its shape. Particle analysis provides the ability to count objects within the pharmaceutical or biological applications. Image calibration is done to give the user instead of the unit pixel measurements, in units such as millimeters, inches, microns. This paper aims to examine the pharmaceutical powder containing ketoprofen in order to determine the quality of the particles and if this are optimal for pharmaceutical applications. It aims to detect surface defects in the deposited layer such as cracks or clusters of particles that cause surface irregularity. IMAQ Vision by processing images, increase productivity, versatility and reproducibility also reducing manufacturing costs.
