Hi,

adding to what Kenneth wrote, I would like to stress the nontrivial part in
your question: directional statistics[1].  The average of 1º and 179º is not
90º in most cases :-)

I have never come across tools in ImageJ or Fiji that would do this kind of
analysis for you.  If you just want the data for each ROI, Wayne's suggestion
is probably your solution.

Cheers,
Daniel
