The text describes software tools for analyzing the structure of metallic materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It presents image processing methods for edge detection and segmentation of structural elements on the metal surface. A Python program is described, which applies watershed algorithms and searches for white and black grains to segment metal images. The program performs analysis of grain sizes and shapes, and the results are presented visually and for further use. This tool is crucial for quality control and optimization of the properties of metallic materials.
