Introduction to Texture Analysis

Completely revised and updated, this second edition of a bestseller is that rare introductory-level guide to texture analysis. It is one of the only books that address traditional macrotexture methods and newer electron-microscopy-based microtexture analysis. Keeping mathematics to a minimum, the authors focus on clarifying the concepts, methods, and scientific principles of texture analysis. The book’s coverage reflects both the growing emphasis on the modern approach to texture determination and the subsequently increased need to explain the philosophy, practice, and analysis associated with it.
