Image Processing MATLAB Codes

Appendix G presents all MATLAB codes written for post processing the Mie
scattering and schlieren flow visualization images. The first six codes: ‘compare.m,’
‘contour.m,’ ‘contour_design.m,’ ‘cut.m,’ ‘scale.m,’ and ‘scale2.m’ are used to process
Mie scattering images. The final code, ‘processJ.m’ is used to process schlieren images.
