Abstract
A modified Hough transform algorithm for the study of metal hydride orientations was developed, and optimum parameter for the transform was obtained based on numerical analysis result. By assigning an orientation to each hydride pixel, the algorithm removes the ambiguities in handling interconnected hydrides. It is expected that the algorithm will find applications in particle orientations measurement in composites and precipitation reinforced materials in general.
