Short description
Taking and analyzing images of materials' microstructures is essential for quality control, choice and design of all kind of products.
This first book on processing and analysis of 3D images of materials structures describes how to develop and apply efficient and versatile tools for geometric analysis and contains a detailed description of the basics of 3d image analysis.
