Interpretable liquid crystal phase classification via two-by-two ordinal patterns

Leonardo G. J. M. Voltarelli, Natalia Osiecka-Drewniak, Marcin Piwowarczyk +4

Liquid crystal textures encode rich structural information, yet mapping these images to mesophase identity remains challenging because visually similar patterns can arise from dist…
