Insegt Fibreis a tool for volumetric fibre segmentation, that is appropriate for densely packed fibres.The robustness to image quality of the underlying dictionary-based algorithm has opened up new opportunitiesfor micro-structural characterisation of fibre-reinforced polymers. The recent user-friendly version of the robustfibre-detection algorithm makes image-based characterisation of fibrous materials simpler and more accessible.
