Module: Area ()

Description:

For an introduction, see section Analysis.

In the continuous, or theoretical, case, Area is defined as:



In the discrete, or actual, case, area is approximated by the number of pixels in X:



Where :



The area measure can be weighted by a size factor which characterizes the area of a single pixel. In which case, the measure is physically homogeneous to the area.

On a binary image, this module returns the number of non zero pixels in the image. Computed area takes into account pixel size.
