Also, for one of the circles...

Hi.

I took your image of circles, thresholded it, and ran particle analyzer on it.  The resulting calculated circularity looks different than your results (attached).  Did you draw a circular ROI and measure it as opposed to the raster based circles?  Regardsless, the Roundness was 1 for all the circles.

Regards,

Michael

Hi,

I made an image of increasing circles to see how the circularity changed as a function of circle radius, where I used another library to draw the circles.

I discovered that if I compute the circularity using the formula  4 pi  * ( area / perim**2), the result is diferent than if I plot the output of circularity.  All of the values of area, perimeter and circularity were taken directly from imageJ analyze particles.

It looks like the circularty has some sort of correction in place?

I've attached the scatter pot showing these results and the test data used for the particles.
