Estimate anisotropy in a 3D microscopy image
============================================

In this tutorial, we compute the structure tensor of a 3D image.
For a general introduction to 3D image processing, please refer to
:ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_applications_plot_3d_image_processing.py`.
The data we use here are sampled from an image of kidney tissue obtained by
confocal fluorescence microscopy (more details at [1]_ under
``kidney-tissue-fluorescence.tif``).

# About the brightest region (i.e., at row ~ 22 and column ~ 17), we can see
# variations (and, hence, strong gradients) over 2 or 3 (resp. 1 or 2) pixels
# across columns (resp. rows). We may thus choose, say, ``sigma = 1.5`` for
# the window
# function. Alternatively, we can pass sigma on a per-axis basis, e.g.,
# ``sigma = (1, 2, 3)``. Note that size 1 sounds reasonable along the first
# (Z, plane) axis, since the latter is of size 8 (13 - 5). Viewing slices in
# the X-Z or Y-Z planes confirms it is reasonable.

# As a conclusion, the region about voxel
# ``(plane, row, column) = coords[1:]`` is
# anisotropic in 3D: There is an order of magnitude between the third-largest
# eigenvalues on one hand, and the largest and second-largest eigenvalues on
# the other hand. We could see this at first glance in figure `Eigenvalues for
# plane Z = 1`.

#####################################################################
# The neighborhood in question is 'somewhat isotropic' in a plane (which,
# here, would be relatively close to the X-Y plane): There is a factor of
# less than 2 between the second-largest and largest eigenvalues.
# This description is compatible with what we are seeing in the image, i.e., a
# stronger gradient across a direction (which, here, would be relatively close
# to the row axis) and a weaker gradient perpendicular to it.
