Development and testing of a novel image analysis algorithm for descriptive evaluation of shape change of a shrinkable soft material

Abstract Soft material can undergo non-uniform deformation or change of shape upon processing. Identifying shape and its change is nevertheless not straightforward. In this study, novel image-based algorithm that can be used to identify shapes of input images and at the same time classify non-unifor...
