NotyCalibration: Image Scale Calibration for Microscopy

Calibrate the pixel-to-real scale of SEM, TEM, optical microscopy, and laboratory images with manual, semi-automatic, and AI-assisted workflows. NotyCalibration helps you create reusable calibrations, attach them to.

Create Accurate Image Scale Calibrations Without Manual Spreadsheets

NotyCalibration is built for researchers, metallographers, lab teams, and microscopy users who need reliable scale information before measurement, annotation, or figure export.

Instead of estimating scale visually or recalculating ratios by hand for every image, you can create a calibration once, save it, preview it, and reuse it across multiple images and downstream modules.

It is especially useful for SEM images, TEM images, optical microscopy, metallography samples, materials characterization, lab documentation, and publication workflows that depend on traceable image scale.

Why Use NotyCalibration for Scientific Imaging?

Scale calibration is the foundation for trustworthy measurement. When calibration is inconsistent, every derived length, area, or scale bar can become unreliable.

NotyCalibration solves this with a focused calibration workflow:

  • create calibrations manually, semi-automatically, or with AI-assisted detection
  • work with target images and optional reference images in separate tabs
  • save reusable calibrations with names and default status
  • attach a calibration directly to an image for downstream tools
  • preview, toggle, detach, and reuse existing calibrations without recreating ratios

Features

Multiple Calibration Modes

  • Manual calibration by drawing directly on the scale reference
  • Semi-auto workflow for user-guided smart detection in a selected region
  • AI-assisted auto detection with backend health checks and fallback behavior

Reference Image Workflow

  • Load a target image and keep it separate from a gauge or standard image
  • Open reference tabs when the calibration scale exists in another image
  • Preserve the target image while checking dimensions against a reference

Calibration Data Management

  • Save named calibrations for future reuse
  • Mark a calibration as default
  • Edit or delete saved calibration entries
  • Attach or detach calibrations from images for later modules

Image-Aware Reuse

  • Preview calibrations on the current image
  • Drag and drop calibration data into compatible workflows
  • Reuse attached scale data in NotyScale, measurement, and hardness workflows

Practical Lab Input Options

  • Upload images from disk
  • Open images from the image library
  • Capture frames from webcam when needed
  • Support manual verification before final save

Who Is This For?

Microscopy & Metallography Labs

Create reusable pixel-to-real ratios before any measurement or reporting work begins.

Researchers Preparing Publication Figures

Keep scale information consistent across multiple images before adding scale bars or figure layouts.

Quality Control & Materials Teams

Standardize image calibration across repeated inspection workflows and operators.

Anyone Building Measurement Pipelines

Feed trusted calibration data into measurement, phase analysis, or hardness testing tools.

Mixed Image / Reference Workflows

Use a separate gauge image when the target image does not include a readable scale bar.
