Fig. 17

Linear relationship between stopping point and average ridge width. The figure shows the fitting of a linear curve through some discrete points for the stopping point of the entropy-change versus logarithmic scale curve, corresponding to the furthest peak. For creating increasing large ridge widths, the center-cropped zoomed images of same dimension are being employed. The figure shows the first and the last such zoomed images. Figure (a) Shows the first zoomed image and (b) displays the last image in zoomed series. c gives a comparison of average ridge width with Logarithmic scale for farthest peak in Entropy change
