A scatter diagram shows the relationship of particle
shape sorted with respect to the intermediate axis coupled to
the longest, respectively the shortest axis (Fig. 5). For
comparison the results of the DB are also shown. As
expected the results of the IA and the DB methods show
similarity although there is a good deal of variation. The images will allow identification of individual particles. This
is not totally correct. Several particles may have similar
intermediate axial lengths and thus the order can be slightly
different in the two images. Thus the length of one particle
can be coupled to the thickness of another. Only when the
lengths respective the thicknesses are exceptionally sized,
extremely long or short, would this significantly affect the
results.
