IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR CONTACT ANGLE METER, AND METHOD OF DERIVING OUTLINE SHAPE IN PLAN VIEW OF DROPLET

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing apparatus for a contact angle meter, along with a method of deriving an outline shape in a plan view of droplets, capable of measuring the outline shape in a plan view of droplets in a contact angle meter with higher accuracy.;SOLUTION: The image processing apparatus 120 for the contact angle meter processes images obtained by imaging droplets on a sample by a contact angle meter for measuring contact angles of droplets on the sample. The image processing apparatus for the contact angle meter includes a shape deriving device 140 for deriving an outline shape in a plan view of droplets based on planar images of the droplets obtained by imaging the droplets on the sample from an upper part.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
