The study of the morphology of galaxies is important in order to understand
the formation and evolution of galaxies and their sub-components as a function
of luminosity, environment, and star-formation and galaxy assembly over cosmic
time. Disentangling the many variables that affect galaxy evolution and
morphology, requires large galaxy samples and automated ways to measure
morphology. The advent of large digital sky surveys, with unprecedented depth
and resolution, coupled with sophisticated quantitative methods for morphology
measurement are providing new insights in this fast evolving field of
astronomical research.
