The resulting statistics file has the following fields.

Column / field / feature Description Type Units
image Filename (minus extension) of scan. str N/A
threshold Whether grain is above or below a threshold. str N/A
molecule_number Number of found grain (starts at 0) int N/A
centre_x x co-ordinate of grain centre. float m
centre_y y co-ordinate of grain centre. float m
radius_min minimum distance from the centroid to edge of the grain. float m
radius_max maximum distance from the centroid to edge of the grain. float m
radius_mean mean distance from the centroid to the edge of the grain. float m
radius_median median distance from the centroid to the edge of the grain. float m
height_min Minimum height of grain. float m
height_max Maximum height of grain. float m
height_median Median height of grain. float m
height_mean Mean height of grain. float m
volume Volume of the grain calculated as the number of pixels multiplied by each height and scaled to metres. float m^3
area Area of the grain itself calculated as the number of pixels scaled to metres. float m^2
area_cartesian_bbox Area of the bounding box for the grain along the cartesian axes. (Not the smallest bounding box). float m^2

smallest_bounding_length Length of the smallest bounding box for the grain (not along cartesian axes). float m
smallest_bounding_area Area of the smallest bounding box for the grain (not along cartesian axes). float m^2
aspect_ratio Aspect ratio of the grain (length / width), always >= 1. float N/A
max_feret Longest length of the grain (see Feret diameter). float m
min_feret Shortest width of the grain (see Feret diameter). float m
contour_length UNKNOWN float m
circular Whether the grain is a circular loop or not. float True / False
end_to_end_distance UNKNOWN float m
basename Directory in which images was found. str N/A
