FeatureConvexPerimeter

Measure the perimeter of the object's convex hull

SYNOPSIS

#include "dip_measurement.h"

dip_int dip_FeatureConvexPerimeterID ( void )

OUTPUT DATA TYPE

dip_float

FUNCTION

dip_FeatureConvexPerimeterID returns the ID value of this measurement function, that is registered by Initialise.

This function measures the perimeter of the convex hull of the object. This function supports 2D images only.

NOTE

If any physical dimensions are passed to this function through Measure, only the sample distance along the first dimension is used. All other dimensions are assumed to be sampled the same way. This produces incorrect results for anisotropically sampled images.

NOTE

This function uses chain codes. It expects each measured object to be compact, that is, to have only one chain code. Additional chain codes are ignored, meaning that non-compact objects are not measured properly. Take care in providing the correct connectivity value: if you object is compact only with 2-connectivity, this measure will fail if you call Measure with a value of 1 for the connectivity.
