摘要

We look at irregularity and phase transitions in two-dimensional patterns. Two independent methods are provided for identifying and measuring hexagonal close packing of particles. We implemented these methods on images of melting colloidal films at different melting processes. We could easily spot various defects in the hexagonal crystal film. The feasibility of the methods is also demonstrated on human retinal images, for measuring the unit cell size and fraction of close-packed cone photoreceptors.
