i 'm dealing with a binary image that has a curved line and i want to find the tortuosity of the line, where tortuosity = (length of line) / (distance between the two endpoints). I'm calling regionprops-area to find the length and then i'm using the imdistline and getdistance commands in order to find the distance between the two endpoints (the coordinates of the endpoints are given). As a matter of fact the length is 113 pixels and the distance 121, but that makes no sense since the length of a curve between two points is always greater than the distance between them. Does anyone know what is wrong? i'm using the following code:
F2=[111 301;222 349];
hline = imdistline(gca, F2(:,1), F2(:,2));
dist = getDistance(hline);
stats=regionprops(F1, 'area');
length = [stats.Area] ;
tortuosity= length / dist;

Use bwmorph with the 'endpoints' option to identify the end points and then use the distance formula (i.e. hypot()) to calculate distance between endpoints.
If this is a skeleton, use regionprops' 'perimeter' option and divide it by two. The problem with using area is that it calculates city-block distance rather than quasi-euclidean and will not give you a good approximation to length. See the description here.

Sometimes the area calculation depends on the pixel configuration, as you can see from the two different ways that bwarea() and regionprops() calculate area.
