Measure the object's perimeter length
#include "dip_measurement.h"
dip_int dip_FeaturePerimeterID ( void )
dip_float
dip_FeaturePerimeterID returns the ID value of this measurement function, that is registered by Initialise.
This measures the perimeter of 2D objects by calculating the length of the chain code of its enclosing border. This function assumes that each object has a single connected border. The used method for measuring the length of the chain code is optimal for circles, and for a collection of objects that are randomly oriented, see the referenced literature for details. This function supports 2D images only.
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.
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.
