Good Morning Everyone,
The Feret's diameter that is measured is a measurement of the "maximum diameter" I believe and the MinFeret is also provided. I read a paper saying that just one Feret measurement of a non spherical particle would be meaningless as the Feret measurement is based on a statistical average after rotating the particle through all different possible angles. Does that mean that I have to add the Feret and MinFeret and divide by 2 to get the average value or what would be the best way to go about this?

Thanks for your reply
