Hi, I have a question about setting threshold. Whenever I change the threshold, it shows different volume results. The measured volume varies depending on the user-defined threshold. How can I ensure consistent and accurate measurements? Is there a way for the program to automatically determine the most appropriate threshold? Alternatively, is it possible to measure volume directly in the 3D viewer without setting a threshold? Thanks aways!
@johanna.m.dela-cruz2 сағат бұрын
Hi Dongseok. Thresholding is subjective. There is no way we can say that a certain threshold level is the correct one. It will always depend on what you think is able to separate out your objects from the background as well as your own knowledge on what needs to be measured. The best way to do your analysis is to decide which automatic threshold algorithm to use, and stick with it for all your images. Thresholding is crucial if you want to isolate whatever you are measuring from the background.

Hi @claireseelingbranscomb2781. Go to 3D OC Options first. Check the Maps' parameters and make sure Show numbers and White numbers are checked. To merge images, you have to convert one of them to match the other. For example, if the 3D Objects Map is 16-bit, check that your original image has the same bit-depth. othrwise, go to Image-Type and choose 16-bit.
