Particulate Matter Inspection
Identify particulates in liquids while avoiding bubbles and glare
Overview
Identify particulates in liquids while avoiding bubbles and glare. Train on your particle classes vs bubbles; tune lighting/exposure for stability.
Recommended camera: OV80i for high-resolution liquid inspection.
Key Capabilities
Particulate vs bubble discrimination: AI learns to distinguish particles from air bubbles
Multiple particle types: Classify different particulate categories (fiber, metal, glass, etc.)
Size and count metrics: Measure particle size and count per vial
Stable imaging: Optimized lighting and exposure to minimize false positives from glare
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it distinguish particles from bubbles?
Train the model on labeled examples of true particles vs air bubbles. It learns appearance patterns—bubbles typically have bright edges and dark centers, while particles vary by material type.
What lighting setup is required?
Typically backlit or darkfield illumination. We work with you to optimize lighting angle, intensity, and polarization to maximize particle visibility while minimizing false triggers.
Can it classify different particle types?
Yes. Train multi-class models to distinguish fiber, glass, metal, and other contaminant types based on their appearance characteristics.
