      Over the last 50 years, great progress has been made in developing artificial fibre-reinforced composite materials, generally using filaments with microscopic diameters. A wide range of reinforcement forms, from random arrays to fully aligned, can be used for commercial applications, with the microstructure being a critical factor in realising the required properties in a material.This is the first up-to-date review of how to apply advanced microstructural characterisation techniques to fibre-reinforced composites. Each chapter is designed to offer both a stand-alone introduction to its topic and detailed referencing for follow-up research. With contributions from experts from around the world, the book will be an essential reference for materials scientists and research workers in industry and academia alike.

      This book delivers a course module for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers of electronics, computing science, medical imaging, or wherever the study of identification and classification of objects by electronics-driven image processing and pattern recognition is relevant. Object analysis first uses image processing to detect objects and extract their features, then identifies and classifies them by pattern recognition. Its manifold applications include recognition of objects in satellite images which enable discrimination between different objects, such as fishing boats, merchant ships or warships; machine spare parts e.g. screws, nuts etc. (engineering); detection of cancers, ulcers, tumours and so on (medicine); and recognition of soil particles of different types (agriculture or soil mechanics in civil engineering).
