Classification and analysis of non-isotropic images by Angle Measure Technique (AMT) with contour unfolding.

Analysis and classification of non-isotropic images with Angle Measure Technique (AMT) is augmented with a new object contour unfolding. The new unfolding algorithm is presented and compared with earlier unfolding options in AMT. The new unfolding with Projection on Latent Structures (PLS) discriminant analysis was applied for classification of digital imagery of blood cells and analysis of diffusion-limited aggregation clusters.
