Title Concrete Image Analyzer (CIA): AI-based Microstructure Characterization Tool for Concrete Materials Summary CIA is an open-source software tool designed for automated microstructural analysis of concrete using classical image processing, machine learning, and computer-vision techniques. It quantifies porosity, ITZ thickness, crack morphology, and aggregate–paste phase distribution without laboratory equipment, enabling scalable digital concrete research. Purpose / Motivation Traditional concrete microstructure studies often require lab setups, microscopy workflows, and manual image interpretation. CIA eliminates this dependency by providing a reproducible, AI-driven computational pipeline for image-based microstructure characterization. Key Methods Classical CV filters & thresholding Edge and texture detection ML-based segmentation Morphological analysis & feature extraction Offline browser-based interface (Python backend, JS front-end) Key Features Fully reproducible architecture Stand-alone execution pipeline Web app version, no server dependency Compatible with optical & microscope images Includes sample datasets and scripts Research Value Designed for materials scientists, civil engineers, and concrete researchers seeking automated and scalable microstructure analytics without experimental facilities.
