Table 1. WPB features quantified by ImageJ.

label description
The features listed as headings and are described at the ImageJ documentation website: https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/docs/guide/146-30.html#toc-Subsection-30.7 (accessed on 09/02/2017).  
Area Area of a WPB object in μm2.
Mean Average grey intensity of a WPB object [relative fluorescence unit r.f.u.]
StdDev Standard deviation of a WPB object pixel intensity [r.f.u.].
Min Minimum intensity of a WPB object [r.f.u.].
Max Maximum intensity of a WPB object [r.f.u.].
X The X coordinate of a WPB object’s centroid [pixel].
Y The Y coordinate of a WPB object’s centroid [pixel].
Perim. Perimeter of a WPB object [μm2].
Major Length of primary axis of the best fitting ellipse around a WPB object [μm].
Minor Length of secondary axis of the best fitting ellipse around a WPB object [μm].
Angle Angle between the horizontal axis of the image and the primary axis of the best fitting ellipse around a WPB object [degree].
Circ. Circularity shape descriptor of a WPB. Circ.=1 means a perfect circle.
Feret The longest diameter between any two points along a WPB’s boundary [μm].
IntDen The product of a WPB’s area and mean grey intensity [r.f.u.].
Median Median grey intensity of a WPB object [r.f.u.].
RawIntDen The sum of the values of the pixels in a WPB [r.f.u.].
Slice The number of image in an image stack.
FeretX The X coordinate of the end of a WPB’s Feret diameter [pixel].
FeretY The Y coordinate of the end of a WPB’s Feret diameter [pixel].
FeretAngle Angle between the horizontal axis of the image and the Feret’s diameter of a WPB object [degree].
MinFeret The shortest diameter between any two points along a WPB’s boundary [μm].
AR Aspect ratio is a shape descriptor of a WPB, means the ratio of the length of the primary and secondary axes of a WPB’s fitted ellipse.
Round Roundness is a shape descriptor of a WPB, the inverse of AR.
Solidity The ratio between a WPB’s area and convex area.
