FeatureSurfaceArea

Measure the area of the object's surface

SYNOPSIS

#include "dip_measurement.h"

dip_int dip_FeatureSurfaceAreaID ( void )

OUTPUT DATA TYPE

dip_float

FUNCTION

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

This function measures the area of a 3D object's surface using six-connected boundary voxels.

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.
