Description of the neuron feature descriptor extended from NeurphologyJ [3].

Feature Name Description Extension
somaCount The total number of somata. No
somaArea The total area of somata in pixel. No
neuriteLength The total length of all neurites in pixel. No
neuriteArea The total area of neurites in pixel. No
