checkIsotropy: Check the isotropy of a sample

In AFM: Atomic Force Microscope Image Analysis

Description

checkIsotropy is used to check the isotropy of an AFMImage. A directional variogram is calculated for various directions. If the variogram is very similar for all the directions then the sample is isotropic.

Usage

checkIsotropy(AFMImage, AFMImageAnalyser)

Arguments

AFMImage	an AFMImage to be analysed
AFMImageAnalyser	an AFMImageAnalyser to perform the analysis

Value

an AFMImageAnalyser containing the directional variograms

Author(s)
