Abstract
A method has been developed to determine local fiber orientations from scanning electron microscope images of connective tissues. The digitized image is convolved with gradient operators to locate edges and determine their direction. The local directions of the fibers are found and collected into a histogram representing a fiber-orientation distribution function.<>
