# DistanceMean2d

Gives the mean distance, edge to edge, between direct neighbor objects of a two-dimensional binary image.
Access to parameter description
For an introduction: section Image Analysis.
This algorithm calculates the distance map of the negative input image and then extracts the ridges separating the image objects.
The measured mean distance is computed as the average of twice the distance map values along this path.
