Abstract

FORMA is a computer algorithm and C language program for definition of the external outline of an object. The algorithm is applicable to a multitude of shape analysis studies, especially those concerned with Fourier shape analysis of sedimentary grains and biological specimens. The output of the program is a data file consisting of header information and a series of objects each described by packed edge points and object identification information. FORMA has been developed to be a general image analysis program designed to be interfaced with relatively inexpensive imaging systems.
