Spatial and area data in ImageJ

Mark Hovenden
G'day All from sunny Tasmania,
I have been using ImageJ for years (and NIH Image before that...) to do simple tasks like measure areas, perimeters of leaves etc. But now I want to do something a little more complex and I'm afraid I am stuck and would appreciate some assistance.

I want ImageJ to find particles (easy), measure their area (again easy) and then spit out a list of the x,y coordinates for each particle (centroid I guess) with its area (this is what I can't do).

Any help on this would be great.
Thanks and all the best
Mark

Dear Mark

When you find the particles add them to the ROI manager, don't need to display anything. In Analyze > Set Measurements select Area and centroid. In the ROI manager menu click on More>> and select Multi Measure. Deselect "One Row Per Slice" and click OK. This should give you a list of Area and X and Y coordinates.

Hope this is what you had in mind.

Re: Spatial and area data in ImageJ

Nilwik Rachel (BW)
Hello,

This is a very useful feature, and I was wondering whether it is possible to include this in a macro?
When performing this operation while recording a macro, it is only included in the Recorder when the box at 'one row per slice' is checked. However, I need to get a list in which every ROI has its own row.

By the way, I've been doing this using the following code until now:

ROIcount = roiManager("count");
for (i=0; i<ROIcount; i++) {
      roiManager("select", i);
          roiManager("Measure");
        }

Would it actually make a difference with the Multi Measure option?

Thanks,
Rachel

Hi,

Multi Measure is much faster than your code, but indeed, it does not work in a macro. Results are for both the same.

Wayne, is this something that can be implemented?

Best wishes

Kees
