Exportable features

Name of feature Description
Source Image
Path to raw image data file
Area
Object area
Perimeter
Object perimeter
Width
Object width (along major axis)
Height
Object height (perpendicular to major axis)
Rotation Angle
Rotation angle of the major axis
Segmentation Method
Segmentation method used to derive the object shape
Optimization Method
Optimization method applied to the object shape
Best Template (EFDIs)
Path to the best matching template (according to matching of elliptic Fourier descriptor invariants)
Template Difference (EFDIs)
Value for matching of elliptic Fourier descriptor invariants between object and best matching template
Hu-match for best EFDIs-Template
Value of matching of Hu invariants between object shape and best matching template
Standard Deviation
Standard deviation of texture gray levels within the inner 50% of the object boundaries
Width/Height-Ratio

Compactness
Heuristic descriptor
Ellipticity
Heuristic descriptor
Triangularity

CHMDF
Convexity defect measure
CDF-Match
Ratio of CDF between object and template
PCAF-Match
Ratio of PCAF between object and template
Compactness-Match
Ratio of heuristic descriptor "formfactor" between object and template
Convexity Defect Index
Number of fulfilled absolute or relative convexity indicators
Ranking Index
Ranking for object shape, i.e. estimation of quality and relevance of result
Contour Image
Name of the file containing the image data cropped to the object area
Contour Image top left Corner
Coordinates of the top left corner of the cropped object image with respect to the raw data
Image Moments (mu)
