摘要: Abstract Minkowski functionals constitute a family of order parameters which discriminate spatial patterns according to size, shape, and connectivity. Here we point out that these scalar descriptors can be complemented by vector-valued curvature measures also known as Quermas vectors. Using examples galaxy clusters, demonstrate the vectors provide additional morphological information on directional features symmetries displayed data.
