Processing pipeline of structure tensor (ST) analysis of serial optical coherence scanner (SOCS) images. The optical contrasts are generated for each volumetric scan. En-face images of reflectivity (R) and retardance ($\delta$) are calculated for two-dimensional (2-D) ST computation. Stacked en-face retardance images and stitched optical sections of the cross-polarization (C) contrast are utilized for three-dimensional (3-D) ST computation. The computed orientation maps are obtained through eigen-decomposition of ST and validated by the en-face optic axis orientation images. Tractography is conducted based on the 3-D ST.
