Description
Summary:The Fourier method of particle profile representation is presented and discussed. Rotationally invariant size and shape terms are derived from the Fourier particle profile representation. The shape terms are demonstrated to be rotationally invariant as well as magnification (size) invariant. The size and shape terms proposed are shown to include all the available information about the boundary of a particle profile. Mathematical and statistical interpretations of the size and shape terms proposed are demonstrated. Some actual and potential applications are discussed.
