Hi Geology Guy,
Seemingly you have switched on all features. For the shape of particles there are IMHO only senseful:
Area (*)
Perimeter (*)
Circ (*)
Solidity (*)
Round (*)
Feret (*)
MinFeret
Minor/Major
all others are related to redirection to gray scale image or not really helpful for particle shape description, better for representation e.g. by ellipsoids.
To summarize a set of particles:
The features (*) can be summarized by the usual Mean and SD.
Min Feret is special, either the (global) Minimum or the span (Max-Min) could characterize the set os particles.
Feret Angle and Angle might be helpful for elongated particles, but the mean of angles is a difficult task since angles come from a number module. (to difficult for the available time!)
The mean of (Minor/Major), a ratio estimator is mean(Minor)/mean(Major) not mean(Minor/Major). SD of the ratio is a bit complicated too!
I think this list of features should be enough for characterization of a set of particles!
Hope that helps a bit
Regards
Karsten
