  • Abstract
    This paper presents an effective algorithm for the identification of multiple phases in microstructures images. The procedure is based on an efficient image segmentation using the fuzzy c-means algorithm. Furthermore, the algorithm is accelerated on a GPU cluster in order to obtain optimal computing times for large size images. The results are compared on the same experimental images with the ones obtained from a commercial software and the accuracy of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated.
