Abstract:
1. A microstructure analysis method of a porous body using porous body data in which correlated position information representing position of a pixel obtained by a 3 dimensional scan of the porous body, and pixel type information representing whether a space pixel representing that the pixel is space or a matter pixel representing that the pixel is matter, comprising; (a) a step to take a curved surface solid including a parent virtual sphere and one or more child virtual spheres with which a portion of pixels occupied by the parent virtual sphere overlap as a virtual curved surface solid, and place the multiple virtual curved surface solids so as to fill in the space pixels with curved surface solid pixels which are pixels occupied by the virtual curved surface solid, referencing the porous body data; and (b) a step to analyze microstructure of the porous body based on information relating to virtual curved surface solids placed in the step (a).
