Terminals (branched structure)

The Terminals analysis distinguishes between segments that lead to a node and segments that lead to a termination.

Analysis results

Tree

Each tree selected for the analysis is assigned a unique number starting at 1.

Type

• Terminal: segment ending in a termination
• Node: segment ending in a node.

Quantity

Number of segments of a given type.

Length total

Sum of all of the lengths of the segments of a given type.

• Mean = [Length total] / [Quantity]
• Variance—computed using the individual lengths and the mean.

Surface total / Volume total

Computed by modeling the segments as a series of frusta (truncated right circular cone).

• Mean = [Surface or Volume total] / [Quantity]
• Variance—computed using the individual surfaces or volumes and the mean.

Spines

Total quantity and quantity broken down by spine class.
