I need to use analyse the shape and location of worms, the ideal way would be to use the skeleton (mid-line) for it. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to do this.
Definiens allows to visualise skeletons (but even then only for a single object, as far as I can tell), or use the branching properties for further analysis, but is there a way to convert the skeleton into a layer or objects?
Best,
Martin

Hi Martin,
midlines can be readily extracted as objects following the "Analysis of Branched Structures" approach in Definiens Develper XD Advanced Training I 2D (Module 6, Distance Maps). The backbone objects can than be transferred into a layer.
Alternatively, you can use the "3D Skeleton" algorithm, which is not part of standard distribution, but available upon request.
I hope this helps
