1. A method of analyzing at least one object, the method comprising: acquiring an image of at least one object, the image having an oriented structured pattern; transforming the image into a frequency domain to provide a transformed image; selecting a frequency having a peak magnitude in the transformed image; providing a spatial band-reject filter, the spatial band-reject filter having a frequency parameter corresponding to the selected frequency; using a processor to filter the transformed image using the spatial band-reject filter to provide a filtered image; and transforming the filtered image into a spatial domain.
