What does it do ?

This plugin:

  • counts the number of 3D objects in a stack.
  • quantifies for each found object the following parameters:
    • Integrated density;
    • Mean of the gray values;
    • Standard deviation of the gray values;
    • Minimum gray value;
    • Maximum gray value;
    • Median of the gray values;
    • Mean distance from the geometrical centre of the object to surface;
    • Standard deviation of the distance to surface;
    • Median distance to surface;
    • Centroid;
    • Centre of mass;
    • Bounding box.
  • generates results representations such as:
    • Objects' map;
    • Surface voxels' map;
    • Centroids' map;
    • Centres of masses' map.

As ImageJ's “Analyze Particles” function, 3D-OC also has a “redirect to” option, allowing one image to be taken as a mask to quantify intensity related parameters on a second image.
