This website provides an accessible introduction to the morphometric approach to structure characterization via Minkowski Tensors. In addition, there is an interactive demonstration (the Morphometer) in which simple shapes and small datasets can be analyzed. Minkowski Tensors were studied in the DFG research group “Geometry and Physics of Spatial Random Systems” and are widely used. Some applications and background information on the theory can be found on the References page.
