Similar to (Matlab) imfeature

["Antonio Plaza Miguel" <aplaza(at)unex.es>]

Hi everybody.

I was wondering if somebody could help me on the following problem. I am
currently developing IDL software which is able to compute shape features of
a set of objects present in a binary image. Some of the characteristics
which are commonly used to analyze the shape of 2D objects are perimeter,
area, elongation, feret, compactness, etc.

I have seen that the image processing toolbox of Matlav v.5.2 and 5.3 has a
procedure (imfeature.m) that performs these operations. I would be grateful
if somebody could give me pointers to similar procedures built in IDL.

Many thanks in advance,
