Abstract

Summary

A method to analyze digital images was used, in this work, to evaluate the characteristics of the porous media. This method was applied to a two-dimensional image sample, in order to detect pores, pore throats and to analyze their connectivity. To do this, the Distance functions of the Euclidean, City-block, Chessboard and Quasi-Euclidean types were used. The results of the network extraction were verified by comparing the distribution of the coordination number for all methods and the results were considered satisfactory.
