Popis: Binarization process plays an important role in structural characterization by means of micro-CT images analysis. The choice of the correct threshold to separate porous phase from the material is the procedure for binary images creation. Slight variations of the threshold level led to substantial variations in physical parameters determination. The aim of this work is to evaluate these variations based on manual threshold settings data of five operators. Porosity and pore size distribution of a sandstone sample were determined.
