Shape factor

Shape factor

Shape factor can refer to one of number of values in physics, engineering or image analysis. Typically, a shape factor refers to a value that is affected by an object's shape but is independent of its dimensions.

In physics:
* A band-pass filter performance measure
* Shape factor (X-ray diffraction)
* The view factor in the field of radiative heat transfer
* Shape factor (particle physics), denoting the ratio of a particle's major dimension to its minor dimension

In engineering:
* Shape factor (boundary layer flow)
* Structural indices derived from falling weight deflectometer data

In image analysis:
* Shape factor (image analysis and microscopy) including:
** The compactness measure of a shape
