Abstract
A method of identifying the transition rule, encapsulated in a modified cellular automata (CA) model, is demonstrated using experimentally observed evolution of dendritic crystal growth patterns in NH4Br crystals. The influence of the factors, such as experimental set-up and image pre-processing, colour and size calibrations, on the method of identification are discussed in detail. A noise reduction parameter and the diffusion velocity of the crystal boundary are also considered. The results show that the proposed method can in principle provide a good representation of the dendritic growth anisotropy of any system.
