Morphological characterization of spatial patterns
Geometrical patterns are encountered in many different fields of science and technology, including porous media, biology, polymer chemistry, metallography, geology and astronomy. 1), 2) We characterize these patterns in terms of shape (geometry) and connectivity (topology) by means of morphological image analysis (MIA). This involves the calculation of the Minkowski functionals known from integ...
متن کاملEfficient Processing of Minkowski Functionals on a 3D Binary Image Using Binary Decision Diagrams
The Morphological Image Analysis characterizes binary digitized 3D images in terms of shape (geometry) and connectivity (topology) by means of the Minkowski functionals known from integral geometry. In three dimensions, these functionals correspond to the enclosed volume, surface area, mean breadth and connectivity (Euler characteristic). To compute these functionals, it is necessary to count t...
متن کاملCharacterizing Cluster Morphology Using Vector-valued Minkowski Functionals
The morphology of galaxy clusters is quantified using Minkowski functionals, especially the vector–valued ones, which contain directional information and are related to curvature centroids. The asymmetry of clusters and the amount of their substructure can be characterized in a unique way using these measures. – We briefly introduce vector–valued Minkowski functionals (also known as Quermaß vec...
متن کاملMinkowski Functional Description of Microwave Background Gaussianity
A Gaussian distribution of cosmic microwave background temperature fluctuations is a generic prediction of inflation. Upcoming high-resolution maps of the microwave background will allow detailed tests of Gaussianity down to small angular scales, providing a crucial test of inflation. We propose Minkowski functionals as a calculational tool for testing Gaussianity and characterizing deviations ...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of colloidal particle networks analyzed by means of Minkowski functionals.
The heterogeneity and large scale connectivity of colloidal particle networks, which are generated by Brownian dynamics simulations, is examined. This is achieved by employing integral geometric measures in the form of the Minkowski functionals or quermassintegrals. It is found that these measures in conjunction with the parallel-body technique amount to a powerful tool to characterize the stru...
