Characterization of Order and Disorder in Spatial Patterns

  • Chapter
Chaos in Biological Systems

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 138))

Abstract

Several algorithms are tested to characterize order and disorder in digitised images of spatial patterns. As source of images, the BelousovZhabotinskii reaction coupled to convective motion in a thin liquid layer is used.
