C-Axis Analysis of the NEEM Ice Core – An Approach based on Digital Image Processing
The focus of this Diploma thesis is the development of a new approach for the analysis of crystal orientations in polar ice, based on digital image processing. The c-axes orientations are measured on thin ice sections using automated polarized light microscopy. The measured data are stored in form o...
