Abstract
A method includes receiving a cross-sectional image of a component, including a plurality of pixels representing the component, at a perspective, determining a threshold color value based on color values associated with the plurality of pixels, and setting an updated color value for each pixel of the plurality of pixels based on the threshold color value. The method includes analyzing a set of adjacent pixels of the cross-sectional image that is selected based on a geometric parameter based on an expected geometry of a physical domain of the component, identifying a plurality of adjacent pixels from the set of adjacent pixels that is likely to be associated with the physical domain of the component based on the updated color values associated with the plurality of adjacent pixels, and outputting a representation of the component including the plurality of adjacent pixels that are likely to be associated with the physical domain.
