The tensor Minkowski functionals or Minkowski tensors (MTs) are generalizations of the usual Minkowski Functionals, which are scalar quantities. The MTs are a set of statistics defined as integrals over the boundary of an excursion set, with integrands related to symmetric tensor products of position vectors and normals to the boundary. They provide directional or anisotropy information that...
