Short abstract: In this Letter we introduce a new method to calculate correlation functions in four principal directions (i.e. two orthogonal and two diagonal) and separately utilize them for image reconstruction. We show this method is particularly suitable for anisotropic porous media but also improves image reconstruction for isotropic structures. Based on analysis of numerous reconstructions of four binary patterns using different sets of two-point probability and linear (for both phases) correlation functions, we quantify the accuracy of each set. Averaging of correlation functions in all directions almost always results in poorer reconstructions. Addition of separate directions significantly improves the quality of replicas with only a minor increase in computational effort.
Lineage: These include 10 reconstructions using 12 different sets of correlation functions for four original images of isotropic and anisotropic crosses. We report original and replica images, as well as correlation functions sets for all four originals.
