This work describes the development of a dedicated system capable of identifying, measuring and counting various types of fibers and other objects in digitized scanning electron micrograph (SEM) imagery. The system uses a recursive high order correlation (HOC) process to extract the corner pixels of the fibers. The objects are defined by grouping connected corners, so that morphometric analysis can be performed.
