Shape factors 1 Dimensionless numerical values calculated based on at least two simple shape measures, which makes them independent to object orientation, translation, and scale. These features may provide useful information for the morphological description of plants. Primary shape features, namely area, perimeter, and major and minor axis length values of each plant are extracted from binary images MajoraxislengthArea Javidan et al. [26]
