Two-dimensional structure functions for direction-dependent multiscale analysis of textures.
The nth order structure function of a two-dimensional field can be defined as:
where denotes a spatial position,
and
are the separation distances along each dimension of the field,
is the expected value operator and
is called the increment. So:
A change of coordinates from cartesian to polar allows for analysis with respect to direction: .
This repository contains four main functions contained in the Structure_functions.py file:
- Incrs_anisotropic_generator2d: takes as input a two-dimensional field
and two scales
and
and generates the process
which is the spatial increment of the two-dimensional field.
- compute_moments_2D: computes the
order moment of a given n-dimensional field introduced as input.
- field_2D_polar: returns the cartesian field used as input in polar coordinates.
- polar_axis: returns 2 numpy arrays characterizing the polar coordinates of the output field of the function field_2D_polar
These functions can be combined to perform a multiscale direction-dependent analysis of images based on structure functions, see Script.ipynb.
