lattice_fringe

High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) lattice fringe image analysis algorithms - developed for carbon nanostructure analysis.

The code can measure fringe length, tortuosity (curvature) and spacing in HRTEM images.

Both Python and Matlab versions will be available. See example.m and example.py for usage.
