Abstract

As mentioned in the previous chapter, the purpose of the CIP method (computer-integrated polarization microscopy) is to perform three basic tasks:

Keywords

Pole Figure Euler Angle Reference Direction Orientation Image Inverse Pole Figure 
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
