Micro-computed tomography of sandstone rocks: Raw, filtered and segmented datasets

Abstract

High-resolution computed micro-tomography is an important area of science, which correlates well with several experimental methodologies and serves as a basis for advanced computational physics studies, in which high-resolution images are used as input to different scientific simulation models. The dataset presented herein includes (raw) grayscale images obtained using the Bruker Skyscan 1272 X-Ray tomograph; filtered images acquired through contrast enhancement and noise reduction filters; and segmented images obtained by using the IsoData segmentation method. All images have a resolution of 2.25 µm (isometric voxels) and size of 10003 voxels.
