Bridging Foundation Models and ASTM Metallurgical Standards for Automated Grain Size Estimation from Microscopy Images

ArXi:2604.18957v1 Announce Type: new Extracting standardized metallurgical metrics from microscopy images remains challenging due to complex grain morphology and the data demands of supervised segmentation. To bridge foundational computer vision with practical metallurgical evaluation, we propose an automated pipeline for dense instance segmentation and grain size estimation that adapts Cellpose-SAM to microstructures and integrates its topology-aware gradient tracking with an ASTM E112 Jeffries planimetric module.
