measurements

Ben Fitzgibbon
Hello

 

I am attempting to measure the maximum linear length of the x and y axis
of free-hand drawn polygons of various shapes using Image J. The only
measurement function that I can determine is suitable for this type on
analysis is the 'Fit Ellipse' function. My colleague used to own a mac
computer and suggests that it was once possible to get a maximum x and
maximum y value using NIH for Mac. Is the 'Fit Ellipse' function the
best way of doing this?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

 

Cheers

 

Ben

Ben,
You may be looking for the feret dimension of the object, see Gabriel
Landini's excellent software for ImageJ at
http://www.dentistry.bham.ac.uk/landinig/software/software.html
Can you describe the measurement you expect to get if an isosceles
triangle is drawn (base of a, height of b) then rotated and moved
arbitrarily in the image.
Do you expect the measurements to be invariant of the rotation angle
and position?

cheers,

FracLac calculates the maximum span across the convex hull if that would work.

Re: measurements

Ben Fitzgibbon
Thankyou all

The Measure Roi plug in is the one I was looking for. I am digitizing
photos of coral colonies to measure growth as increase in area and x/y
increase.

Thankyou very much for the guidance

Ben
