TL;DR: In this article, a series of image processing technologies and geometric measurement methods is introduced to quantify multiple scale microporosity in images, such as probability entropy, probability distribution index and fractal dimension were introduced to describe the distribution of the three major characteristics of pore system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors described the process of debris-flow initiation and transport in the study areas and presented field observations on the roles of rainfall, lithology and the presence of faults.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of W-D cycles on the geometric characteristics of crack patterns was analyzed by image processing, and the results showed that the observed cracks were significantly influenced by the applied WD cycles, but this influence was reduced after the third cycle.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the desiccation cracking behavior at three temperatures (22, 60 and 105°C) and found that the initial critical water content (wIC), which corresponds to the initiation of desiliccation crack, increases with temperature rise, and the ratio RSC increases with decreasing water content and then keeps almost constant when the water content becomes lower than the critical Water Content (wFC).

TL;DR: The software may be used to study the generation and development of soil crack patterns and rock fractures and various geometric parameters of the crack network can be calculated automatically, such as node number, crack number,Clod area, clod perimeter, crack area, width, length, and direction.
