Hello Everyone,

I am new to this forum and ImageJ. I am looking for some advice on how I could go about automatically measuring the length of multiple objects in one image. I am currently working on a project that requires me to get the lengths of multiple corn ears from one image.
       
I have downloaded ObjectJ and been trying to use that but I am not familiar enough with either program to get my desired results.

My current approach is using SIOX segmentation to get the corn ears separated from the background and using feret diameter to find the maximum length of each ear. I have not been able to get this to work like I want it to.

Also, due to the large number of photos I would like to be able to automate this process if at all possible.

If anyone has some info on where a good place for me to start would be, I would appreciate it.

I am new to this program so if there are any good websites or articles that would help me to get familiar with it, I would appreciate some guidance.

Thanks,

Nicholas Hayden
