Prof. Masuko was one of the first researchers to apply image analysis to the field of corrosion. In addition to reviewing his achievements in image analysis, the development, current situation, and future prospects of research with applying image analysis were surveyed. Compositions and their distributions of rusts and distributions of pH or concentrations of ions in solutions have become measurable. New technologies-hyperspectral camera, etc.-could capture their distributions more accurately. Moreover, with the improvement of computer performance, it will become easier to grasp the corrosion situation without relying on human senses by applying AI with color analysis and texture analysis and so on.
