Objects density distribution (heat-map)

The purpose of the density distribution Heat-Map, is to evaluate, through a colored map (heat-map), the objects population concentration per volume’ unit inside the whole sample.

These boxes are used as Parent (compartment reference) to establish the compartmentalization of the counted objects (child) in the sampled volume. The different colors show the density (or concentration) in the specific sub space. Usually, the cold colors (e.g. blue hues) show a low concentration, while the hot colors (e.g. red hues) show high concentration values.

Using different scripts a special boxes layout can be created. Here below are quick examples of the Gradient profile and the Spiral distribution map:

Object gradient profile

The Object gradient profile task computes the concentration’ gradient of the child objects along a specific direction.

Regular sized boxes are created to cover the selected part of the volume' sample with contiguous subspaces.

These boxes are used as Parent to establish the compartmentalization of the counted objects (child) in the sampled volume. The boxes can be created following a linear progression, or covering a more complex path (e.g. spiral path).
