General Considerations Circle category: Indicates of how closely the particle is shaped like a circle. Values termed Sphericity, Circularity, Roundness, and Compactness, have a scale of 0 to 1.0, where 1.0 represents a perfect circle. A change in circle shape factors is a function of either a change in form, or roughness, or both. Roundness and Compactness are the least used. Form category: Indicates how the shape diverges from a circle in overall form. This category includes Aspect Ratio and Max. Aspect Ratio. The values range over scale of 0 to 1.0 where 1.0 represents equal Width and Length (a circle or square). Roughness category: Indicates how the shape diverges from a smooth surface, regardless of form. The terms include Convexity, Solidity, and Concavity. The values for convexity and solidity are on a scale of 0 to 1.0, where 1.0 indicates a smooth surface with no concave indentations. The third, Concavity, also has a scale of 0 to 1.0, where 1.0 indicates a very “spikey” surface, with many and pronounced concave indentations. Geometry category: Value is termed Extent. Indicates relative conformity to a specific geometric shape. On a scale of 0 to 1.0, 1.0 would represent a perfectly rectangular particle. Useful in applications measuring crystals, where the perfect crystal has a distinct geometric shape. SF-LA-IA Rev C FDA Registration #157920674 February 2014 Image Analysis Sample Submission Form 12501 62nd Street North, Largo, FL 33773 General Definitions for Size Parameters: Describes the calculation of length, area, perimeter and volume of measured particles. Notation Description, units Area (A) Area, µ2 Perimeter (P) Perimeter, µ Perimeter of the particle projected image Volume (V) Volume, µ3 Volume of rotated equivalent area circle. Centroid Centroid, x,y point on image The point of the center of mass (gravity) of the image. The point on the image where it could be balanced on the tip of a pin. DA Area Equivalent Diameter, µ Diameter of a circle equal in area to that of the particle image. DP Perimeter Equivalent Diameter,µ Length (L) Length, µ Distance of major axis of Legendre ellipse, shown overlaying the particle in the left diagram. Width (W) Width, µ Distance of minor axis of Legendre ellipse. ConHulP Convex Hull Perimeter, µ ConHulA Convex Hull Area, µ2 MaxDis Particle Maximum Distance, µ (MD) MinDis Definition Area of the particle projected image Particle Minimum Distance, µ (PMD) Diameter of a circle equal in perimeter to that of the particle image. Length of imaginary elastic band around the particle image Area within the convex hull. Maximum Feret Diameter The maximum distance between any pair of pixels on the perimeter of the particle image. Minimum Feret Diameter The minimum distance between any pair of pixels on the perimeter of the particle image. Shape Parameters: Uses values from above to provide special calculations to assist defining shape characteristics. Sphericity Sphericity Circularity Circularity Roundness Roundness Aspect Ratio Aspect Ratio – (also Ellipse Ratio) Feret Aspect Ratio Maximum Aspect Ratio Compactness Compactness Extent Extent Convexity Convexity Solidity Solidity Concavity Concavity SF-LA-IA Rev C Measure of the proximity to a circle Values range 0 to 1(value of 1 equals a perfect circle) Measure of proximity to a circle. More sensitive, less robust, than Sphericity Range of values 0 to 1 (value of 1 equals a perfect circle) Measure of proximity to circle, 0 to 1 (circle), sensitive to elongated deviations from a circle Measure of overall form. As it decreases, measures of circularity decrease. Ratio of Width to Length, 0 to 1 (square or circle). Measure of overall form. Ratio of Particle Minimum Distance (PMD) to the Particle Maximum Distance (MD). Range of values is 0 to 1 (square or circle) Less sensitive but more robust, than Roundness . Values 0 to 1 (circle). Value of 1 describes the degree to which the actual area takes up maximum possible area based on product of the two largest perpendicular dimensions. Measure of surface roughness, 0 to 1 (smooth). As roughness increases, measures of circularity decrease. Measure of surface roughness, 0 to 1. Value of 1 describes very smooth surface. Ratio of area of the particle to the area of the convex hull. Measure of surface roughness, 0 to 1. In this case, a value of 1 describes an extremely rough, spikey surface FDA Registration #157920674 February 2014
