N2 - -Image analysis is a useful tool that allows geologists to perform some microstructural analyses in a reproducible, unbiased, and quantitative manner, often with considerable time-saving compared to manual analysis. It can perform tasks such as detailed crystallographic orientation mapping and strain analysis with pattern matching that are virtually impossible (or at least impractical) to perform manually. In other cases, such as detection of grain boundaries, manual analysis can be just as good as, or even better than, digital image analysis, although it may be more laborious.
