Measuring boundary length
Oftentimes we segment an image to find objects of interest, and then measure these objects — their area, their perimeter, their aspect ratio, etc. etc. Measuring the area is accomplished simply by...
View ArticleHow to obtain the chain code
In the previous post I discussed simple techniques to estimate the boundary length of a binarized object. These techniques are based on the chain code. This post will detail how to obtain such a chain...

Last month I wrote a post showing how to calculate the perimeter of an object using its chain code. In this post I want to review several more measures that can be easily obtained from the chain codes:...
View ArticleThe convex hull of a 2D object
Last year I wrote about computing the the boundary length and various other measures, given an object’s chain code. The chain code is a simple way of encoding the polygon that represents a 2D object....
View ArticleComputing Feret diameters from the convex hull
Some time ago I wrote about how to compute the Feret diameters of a 2D object based on the chain code of its boundary. The diameters we computed were the longest and shortest projections of the object....
