Ridge detection

Description

Detects ridge objects in an image from the workspace. A ridge is considered as a line of higher (or lower) intensity pixels in an image. Ridges are output as objects to the workspace with relevant measurements associated with each object (e.g. ridge length). This module uses the "Ridge Detection" plugin, which itself is based on the paper "An Unbiased Detector of Curvilinear Structures" (Steger, C., IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (1998) 20 113–125).

Note: This module detects ridges in 2D, but can be run on multi-dimensional images. For higher dimensionality images than 2D, ridge detection is performed slice-by-slice, with output objects confined to a single slice.
