Select largest ROI from multiple

burt46
Hi,

I have a macro that runs a binary mask of a stack to generate ROIs within a polygon. Sometime when the macro runs, two or three ROIs are generated per slice rather than just one. Is there a way that you can force ImageJ to select only the largest ROI and ignore/delete the others. I need to extract one ROI per slice.

Many thanks

Yes, you can check how many ROIs there are in the manager, get the area for each and find the largest are. The code below should hopefully do this.

if (roiManager("count")>1);{
        Area=newArray(roiManager("count"));
        for (i=0; i<roiManager("count");i++){
                roiManager("select", i);
                getStatistics(Area[i], mean, min, max, std, histogram);
        }
        AreaLarge = 0;
        for (i=0; i<(roiManager("count"));i++){
                if (Area[i]>AreaLarge){
                        AreaLarge=Area[i];
                        large = i;
                }
        }
}
roiManager("Select", large);


Best wishes
