Abstract
The disclosure notably relates to a computer-implemented method for analyzing the temporal evolution of a foam sample. The method comprises providing a time-series set of images of a foam sample subject to a shrinking process in a predetermined shrinking direction. The method also comprises generating a spatiotemporal diagram image from the time-series set of images. The spatiotemporal diagram image represents time evolution of a layout of the foam sample in the predetermined shrinking direction. The method also comprises segmenting the spatiotemporal diagram image into a set of segments. The method also comprises creating one or more curves that represent boundaries of the segments. This forms an improved solution for analyzing a foam sample.
