Abstract
The paper presents an approach to classification of porous materials used in biomedicine based on computer-aided analysis of scanning electron microscope images of sections of the examined material. Due to various size and high irregularity of forms of the pores visible in the images selected morphological parameters are used to the description of the samples of the porous material. The space of morphological parameters is automatically divided into porosity classes which are a step to establish the classes of porous material quality, based on suggestions of experts. An approach to verification of the morphological parameters utility to discriminate the materials according to their porosity is also proposed.
