phenotypic.measure package#

Feature extraction from detected fungal colonies.

Computes per-colony and grid-level metrics describing growth, morphology, and appearance on agar plates. Measurements span bounds, size/integrated intensity, shape descriptors, texture, color, and grid-level statistics such as spatial spread and linear gradients. Results are returned as pandas DataFrames ready for analysis.

class phenotypic.measure.MeasureBounds[source]#

Bases: MeasureFeatures

Extract bounding box coordinates and centroids of detected colonies.

Compute the axis-aligned bounding box and centroid (geometric and intensity-weighted) for each detected colony. These spatial measurements form the foundation for region-of-interest extraction, grid alignment assessment, and neighbor-distance calculations.

Returns:

pd.DataFrame: Object-level spatial data with columns:

  • Label: unique object identifier.

  • CenterRR, CenterCC: geometric centroid coordinates.

  • IntensityWeightedCenterRR, IntensityWeightedCenterCC: intensity-weighted centroid coordinates (skimage centroid_weighted).

  • DistWeightedCenterRR, DistWeightedCenterCC: per-object DT-weighted centroid (Sum(dt*pos)/Sum(dt)) — robust to thin filamentous extensions (low DT weight) and to budding doublets (the two lobes balance to the neck).

  • MinRR, MinCC: top-left corner of bounding box.

  • MaxRR, MaxCC: bottom-right corner of bounding box.

Best For:
  • Computing centroids for aligning colonies to expected grid positions in arrayed assays.

  • Extracting region-of-interest crops for downstream intensity, color, or texture analysis.

  • Assessing colony positioning relative to plate edges or well boundaries.

classmethod __get_pydantic_json_schema__(core_schema: CoreSchema, handler: GetJsonSchemaHandler, /) JsonSchemaValue#

Hook into generating the model’s JSON schema.

Parameters:
  • core_schema (CoreSchema) – A pydantic-core CoreSchema. You can ignore this argument and call the handler with a new CoreSchema, wrap this CoreSchema ({‘type’: ‘nullable’, ‘schema’: current_schema}), or just call the handler with the original schema.

  • handler (GetJsonSchemaHandler) – Call into Pydantic’s internal JSON schema generation. This will raise a pydantic.errors.PydanticInvalidForJsonSchema if JSON schema generation fails. Since this gets called by BaseModel.model_json_schema you can override the schema_generator argument to that function to change JSON schema generation globally for a type.

Returns:

A JSON schema, as a Python object.

Return type:

JsonSchemaValue

classmethod __pydantic_init_subclass__(**kwargs: Any) None#

Populate field descriptions from the subclass docstring.

Runs once per concrete subclass after pydantic has built its model. Copies parameter descriptions parsed from the Google-style Args: docstring block onto each field’s description slot so they surface in model_json_schema() — the machine-readable contract used by downstream tooling (e.g. an MCP server).

Parameters:

**kwargs (Any) – Class-keyword arguments forwarded by pydantic.

Return type:

None

classmethod __pydantic_on_complete__() None#

This is called once the class and its fields are fully initialized and ready to be used.

This typically happens when the class is created (just before [__pydantic_init_subclass__()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.__pydantic_init_subclass__] is called on the superclass), except when forward annotations are used that could not immediately be resolved. In that case, it will be called later, when the model is rebuilt automatically or explicitly using [model_rebuild()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.model_rebuild].

Return type:

None

classmethod construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#
Parameters:
Return type:

Self

classmethod from_json(json_data: str | Path | dict) BaseOperation#

Reconstruct an operation from JSON written by to_json().

Accepts a JSON string, a path to a JSON file, or a pre-parsed envelope dict (same input handling as ImagePipeline.from_json()). Polymorphic: ImageOperation.from_json(path) returns whatever concrete operation the file holds. When called on a narrower subclass, the resolved class must be a subclass of it, else a TypeError is raised.

Parameters:

json_data (str | Path | dict) – A JSON string, path to a JSON file, or envelope dict.

Returns:

The reconstructed operation instance.

Raises:
  • AttributeError – If the recorded class cannot be resolved in the phenotypic namespace.

  • TypeError – If called on a concrete subclass and the file holds a class that is not a subclass of it.

Return type:

BaseOperation

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.abc_ import ImageOperation
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     OtsuDetector().to_json(p)
...     loaded = ImageOperation.from_json(p)  # polymorphic
>>> type(loaded).__name__
'OtsuDetector'
classmethod from_orm(obj: Any) Self#
Parameters:

obj (Any)

Return type:

classmethod model_construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set (set[str] | None) – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • values (Any) – Trusted or pre-validated data dictionary.

Returns:

A new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_json_schema(by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: str = '#/$defs/{model}', schema_generator: type[~pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema] = <class 'pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema'>, mode: ~typing.Literal['validation', 'serialization'] = 'validation', *, union_format: ~typing.Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array'] = 'any_of') dict[str, Any]#

Generates a JSON schema for a model class.

Parameters:
  • by_alias (bool) – Whether to use attribute aliases or not.

  • ref_template (str) – The reference template.

  • union_format (Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array']) –

    The format to use when combining schemas from unions together. Can be one of:

    keyword to combine schemas (the default). - ‘primitive_type_array’: Use the [type](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/type) keyword as an array of strings, containing each type of the combination. If any of the schemas is not a primitive type (string, boolean, null, integer or number) or contains constraints/metadata, falls back to any_of.

  • schema_generator (type[GenerateJsonSchema]) – To override the logic used to generate the JSON schema, as a subclass of GenerateJsonSchema with your desired modifications

  • mode (Literal['validation', 'serialization']) – The mode in which to generate the schema.

Returns:

The JSON schema for the given model class.

Return type:

dict[str, Any]

classmethod model_parametrized_name(params: tuple[type[Any], ...]) str#

measure(image, include_meta=False)#

Execute the measurement operation on a detected-object image.

This is the main public API method for extracting measurements. It handles: input validation, parameter extraction via introspection, calling the subclass-specific _operate() method, optional metadata merging, and exception handling.

How it works (for users):

  1. Pass your processed Image (with detected objects) to measure()

  2. The method calls your subclass’s _operate() implementation

  3. Results are validated and returned as a pandas DataFrame

  4. If include_meta=True, image metadata (filename, grid info) is merged in

How it works (for developers):

When you subclass MeasureFeatures, you only implement _operate(). This measure() method automatically:

  • Calls _operate(), which reads its parameters from self

  • Validates the Image has detected objects (objmap)

  • Wraps exceptions in OperationFailedError with context

  • Merges grid/object metadata if requested

Parameters:
  • image (Image) – A PhenoTypic Image object with detected objects (must have non-empty objmap from a prior detection operation).

  • include_meta (bool, optional) – If True, merge image metadata columns (filename, grid position, etc.) into the results DataFrame. Defaults to False.

Returns:

Measurement results with structure:

  • First column: OBJECT.LABEL (integer IDs from image.objmap[:])

  • Remaining columns: Measurement values (float, int, or string)

  • One row per detected object

If include_meta=True, additional metadata columns are prepended before OBJECT.LABEL (e.g., Filename, GridRow, GridCol).

Return type:

pd.DataFrame

Raises:

OperationFailedError – If _operate() raises any exception, it is caught and re-raised as OperationFailedError with details including the original exception type, message, image name, and operation class. This provides consistent error handling across all measurers.

Notes

  • This method is the main entry point; do not override in subclasses

  • Subclasses implement _operate() only, not this method

  • Automatic memory profiling is available via logging configuration

  • Image must have detected objects (image.objmap should be non-empty)

Examples

Basic measurement extraction:

>>> from phenotypic import Image
>>> from phenotypic.measure import MeasureSize
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> # Load and detect
>>> image = Image('plate.jpg')
>>> image = OtsuDetector().operate(image)
>>> # Extract measurements
>>> measurer = MeasureSize()
>>> df = measurer.measure(image)
>>> print(df.head())

Include metadata in measurements:

>>> # With image metadata (filename, grid info)
>>> df_with_meta = measurer.measure(image, include_meta=True)
>>> print(df_with_meta.columns)
# Output: ['Filename', 'GridRow', 'GridCol', 'OBJECT.LABEL',
#          'Area', 'IntegratedIntensity', ...]
model_copy(*, update: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None, deep: bool = False) Self#
!!! abstract “Usage Documentation”

[model_copy](../concepts/models.md#model-copy)

Returns a copy of the model.

!!! note

The underlying instance’s [__dict__][object.__dict__] attribute is copied. This might have unexpected side effects if you store anything in it, on top of the model fields (e.g. the value of [cached properties][functools.cached_property]).

Parameters:
  • update (Mapping[str, Any] | None) – Values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating the new model. You should trust this data.

  • deep (bool) – Set to True to make a deep copy of the model.

Generate a dictionary representation of the model, optionally specifying which fields to include or exclude.

Parameters:

  • exclude_none (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that have a value of None.

  • exclude_computed_fields (bool) – Whether to exclude computed fields. While this can be useful for round-tripping, it is usually recommended to use the dedicated round_trip parameter instead.

  • round_trip (bool) – If True, dumped values should be valid as input for non-idempotent types such as Json[T].

  • warnings (bool | Literal['none', 'warn', 'error']) – How to handle serialization errors. False/”none” ignores them, True/”warn” logs errors, “error” raises a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError].

  • fallback (Callable[[Any], Any] | None) – A function to call when an unknown value is encountered. If not provided, a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError] error is raised.

  • fallback (Callable[[Any], Any] | None) – A function to call when an unknown value is encountered. If not provided, a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError] error is raised.

  • serialize_as_any (bool) – Whether to serialize fields with duck-typing serialization behavior.

Returns:

A JSON string representation of the model.

Return type:

str

model_post_init(_BaseOperation__context: Any) None#

Initialize logging and memory tracking after model construction.

Replaces the legacy __init__ body: creates the per-class logger and, when that logger is enabled for INFO level or higher, starts tracemalloc so per-operation memory usage can be logged.

Parameters:
  • __context – Pydantic post-init context (unused).

  • _BaseOperation__context (Any)

Return type:

None

to_json(filepath: str | Path | None = None) str | None#

Serialize this operation to JSON.

Captures the operation as a {"class", "params"} envelope: params is model_dump(mode="json") (every declared field, including nested operations and raw arrays; PrivateAttr state such as loggers and timing is excluded automatically), and class records the concrete class name so from_json() can rebuild the right subclass. This mirrors ImagePipeline.to_json().

Parameters:

filepath (str | Path | None) – Optional path to write the JSON to. When None, the JSON string is returned instead. Accepts a str or Path.

Returns:

The JSON string when filepath is None, otherwise None.

Return type:

str | None

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> from phenotypic.sdk_ import CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION, ensure_typed_json_suffix

...     OtsuDetector(ignore_zeros=True).to_json(p)
...     loaded = OtsuDetector.from_json(saved)
>>> loaded.ignore_zeros

Returns the set of fields that have been explicitly set on this model instance.

Returns:

A set of strings representing the fields that have been set,

i.e. that were not filled from defaults.

classmethod __get_pydantic_json_schema__(core_schema: CoreSchema, handler: GetJsonSchemaHandler, /) JsonSchemaValue#

Hook into generating the model’s JSON schema.

Parameters:
  • core_schema (CoreSchema) – A pydantic-core CoreSchema. You can ignore this argument and call the handler with a new CoreSchema, wrap this CoreSchema ({‘type’: ‘nullable’, ‘schema’: current_schema}), or just call the handler with the original schema.

  • handler (GetJsonSchemaHandler) – Call into Pydantic’s internal JSON schema generation. This will raise a pydantic.errors.PydanticInvalidForJsonSchema if JSON schema generation fails. Since this gets called by BaseModel.model_json_schema you can override the schema_generator argument to that function to change JSON schema generation globally for a type.

Returns:

A JSON schema, as a Python object.

Return type:

JsonSchemaValue

classmethod __pydantic_init_subclass__(**kwargs: Any) None#

Populate field descriptions from the subclass docstring.

Runs once per concrete subclass after pydantic has built its model. Copies parameter descriptions parsed from the Google-style Args: docstring block onto each field’s description slot so they surface in model_json_schema() — the machine-readable contract used by downstream tooling (e.g. an MCP server).

Parameters:

**kwargs (Any) – Class-keyword arguments forwarded by pydantic.

Return type:

None

classmethod __pydantic_on_complete__() None#

This is called once the class and its fields are fully initialized and ready to be used.

This typically happens when the class is created (just before [__pydantic_init_subclass__()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.__pydantic_init_subclass__] is called on the superclass), except when forward annotations are used that could not immediately be resolved. In that case, it will be called later, when the model is rebuilt automatically or explicitly using [model_rebuild()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.model_rebuild].

Return type:

None

classmethod construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#
Parameters:
Return type:

Self

classmethod from_json(json_data: str | Path | dict) BaseOperation#

Reconstruct an operation from JSON written by to_json().

Accepts a JSON string, a path to a JSON file, or a pre-parsed envelope dict (same input handling as ImagePipeline.from_json()). Polymorphic: ImageOperation.from_json(path) returns whatever concrete operation the file holds. When called on a narrower subclass, the resolved class must be a subclass of it, else a TypeError is raised.

Parameters:

json_data (str | Path | dict) – A JSON string, path to a JSON file, or envelope dict.

Returns:

The reconstructed operation instance.

Raises:
  • AttributeError – If the recorded class cannot be resolved in the phenotypic namespace.

  • TypeError – If called on a concrete subclass and the file holds a class that is not a subclass of it.

Return type:

BaseOperation

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.abc_ import ImageOperation
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     OtsuDetector().to_json(p)
...     loaded = ImageOperation.from_json(p)  # polymorphic

classmethod from_orm(obj: Any) Self#
Parameters:

classmethod model_construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set (set[str] | None) – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • values (Any) – Trusted or pre-validated data dictionary.

Returns:

A new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_json_schema(by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: str = '#/$defs/{model}', schema_generator: type[~pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema] = <class 'pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema'>, mode: ~typing.Literal['validation', 'serialization'] = 'validation', *, union_format: ~typing.Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array'] = 'any_of') dict[str, Any]#

Generates a JSON schema for a model class.

Parameters:
  • by_alias (bool) – Whether to use attribute aliases or not.

  • ref_template (str) – The reference template.

  • union_format (Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array']) –

    The format to use when combining schemas from unions together. Can be one of:

    keyword to combine schemas (the default). - ‘primitive_type_array’: Use the [type](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/type) keyword as an array of strings, containing each type of the combination. If any of the schemas is not a primitive type (string, boolean, null, integer or number) or contains constraints/metadata, falls back to any_of.

  • schema_generator (type[GenerateJsonSchema]) – To override the logic used to generate the JSON schema, as a subclass of GenerateJsonSchema with your desired modifications

  • mode (Literal['validation', 'serialization']) – The mode in which to generate the schema.

Returns:

The JSON schema for the given model class.

Return type:

dict[str, Any]

measure(image, include_meta=False)#

Execute the measurement operation on a detected-object image.

This is the main public API method for extracting measurements. It handles: input validation, parameter extraction via introspection, calling the subclass-specific _operate() method, optional metadata merging, and exception handling.

How it works (for users):

  1. Pass your processed Image (with detected objects) to measure()

  2. The method calls your subclass’s _operate() implementation

  3. Results are validated and returned as a pandas DataFrame

  4. If include_meta=True, image metadata (filename, grid info) is merged in

How it works (for developers):

When you subclass MeasureFeatures, you only implement _operate(). This measure() method automatically:

  • Calls _operate(), which reads its parameters from self

  • Validates the Image has detected objects (objmap)

  • Wraps exceptions in OperationFailedError with context

  • Merges grid/object metadata if requested

Parameters:
  • image (Image) – A PhenoTypic Image object with detected objects (must have non-empty objmap from a prior detection operation).

  • include_meta (bool, optional) – If True, merge image metadata columns (filename, grid position, etc.) into the results DataFrame. Defaults to False.

Returns:

Measurement results with structure:

  • First column: OBJECT.LABEL (integer IDs from image.objmap[:])

  • Remaining columns: Measurement values (float, int, or string)

  • One row per detected object

If include_meta=True, additional metadata columns are prepended before OBJECT.LABEL (e.g., Filename, GridRow, GridCol).

Return type:

pd.DataFrame

Raises:

OperationFailedError – If _operate() raises any exception, it is caught and re-raised as OperationFailedError with details including the original exception type, message, image name, and operation class. This provides consistent error handling across all measurers.

Notes

  • This method is the main entry point; do not override in subclasses

  • Subclasses implement _operate() only, not this method

  • Automatic memory profiling is available via logging configuration

  • Image must have detected objects (image.objmap should be non-empty)

Examples

Basic measurement extraction:

>>> from phenotypic import Image
>>> from phenotypic.measure import MeasureSize
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> # Load and detect
>>> image = Image('plate.jpg')
>>> image = OtsuDetector().operate(image)
>>> # Extract measurements
>>> measurer = MeasureSize()
>>> df = measurer.measure(image)
>>> print(df.head())

Include metadata in measurements:

>>> # With image metadata (filename, grid info)
>>> df_with_meta = measurer.measure(image, include_meta=True)
>>> print(df_with_meta.columns)
# Output: ['Filename', 'GridRow', 'GridCol', 'OBJECT.LABEL',
#          'Area', 'IntegratedIntensity', ...]
model_copy(*, update: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None, deep: bool = False) Self#
!!! abstract “Usage Documentation”

[model_copy](../concepts/models.md#model-copy)

Returns a copy of the model.

!!! note

The underlying instance’s [__dict__][object.__dict__] attribute is copied. This might have unexpected side effects if you store anything in it, on top of the model fields (e.g. the value of [cached properties][functools.cached_property]).

Parameters:
  • update (Mapping[str, Any] | None) – Values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating the new model. You should trust this data.

  • deep (bool) – Set to True to make a deep copy of the model.

Returns:

New model instance.

[model_dump](../concepts/serialization.md#python-mode)

Generate a dictionary representation of the model, optionally specifying which fields to include or exclude.

Parameters:

model_post_init(_BaseOperation__context: Any) None#

Initialize logging and memory tracking after model construction.

Replaces the legacy __init__ body: creates the per-class logger and, when that logger is enabled for INFO level or higher, starts tracemalloc so per-operation memory usage can be logged.

Parameters:
  • __context – Pydantic post-init context (unused).

  • _BaseOperation__context (Any)

Return type:

None

to_json(filepath: str | Path | None = None) str | None#

Serialize this operation to JSON.

Captures the operation as a {"class", "params"} envelope: params is model_dump(mode="json") (every declared field, including nested operations and raw arrays; PrivateAttr state such as loggers and timing is excluded automatically), and class records the concrete class name so from_json() can rebuild the right subclass. This mirrors ImagePipeline.to_json().

Parameters:

filepath (str | Path | None) – Optional path to write the JSON to. When None, the JSON string is returned instead. Accepts a str or Path.

Returns:

The JSON string when filepath is None, otherwise None.

Return type:

str | None

random_seed: int#
class phenotypic.measure.MeasureGridLinRegStats(*, section_num: int | None = None)[source]#

Bases: GridMeasureFeatures

Evaluate grid alignment quality using row-wise and column-wise linear regression.

Fit linear regressions to colony centroid positions along each row and column of the grid, then compute per-colony residual error (Euclidean distance between observed and predicted centroid). High residual errors flag off-grid growth, misdetections, or plate warping.

Args:
section_num: Grid section index to restrict measurements to.

None measures across the entire grid. Default: None.

Returns:

pd.DataFrame: Per-object metrics indexed by object label:

  • RowM, RowB: row regression slope and intercept.

  • ColM, ColB: column regression slope and intercept.

  • PredRR, PredCC: predicted centroid from regression.

  • ResidualError: Euclidean distance between actual and predicted centroid.

Best For:
  • Identifying colonies that grew outside their designated grid position on arrayed plates.

  • Detecting systematic rotation or shear across the plate to validate grid detection quality.

  • Filtering or weighting colonies by positional confidence before downstream phenotypic analysis.

Category: GridLinReg#

Name

Description

RowM

Slope of row-wise linear regression fit across column positions. Measures systematic drift in row alignment. Values near 0 indicate horizontal rows; non-zero values suggest rotational misalignment or systematic row curvature across the plate.

RowB

Intercept of row-wise linear regression fit. Represents the expected row coordinate when column position is 0. Combined with slope, defines the expected row trend line for quality assessment and position prediction.

ColM

Slope of column-wise linear regression fit across row positions. Measures systematic drift in column alignment. Values near 0 indicate vertical columns; non-zero values suggest rotational misalignment or systematic column curvature across the plate.

ColB

Intercept of column-wise linear regression fit. Represents the expected column coordinate when row position is 0. Combined with slope, defines the expected column trend line for quality assessment and position prediction.

PredRR

Predicted row coordinate from column-wise linear regression. Uses the column position and column regression parameters (ColM, ColB) to estimate where the row coordinate should be if the grid were perfectly aligned. Used for calculating residual errors and detecting misaligned colonies.

PredCC

Predicted column coordinate from row-wise linear regression. Uses the row position and row regression parameters (RowM, RowB) to estimate where the column coordinate should be if the grid were perfectly aligned. Used for calculating residual errors and detecting misaligned colonies.

ResidualError

Euclidean distance between the actual colony centroid and the predicted position from linear regression. Quantifies how far each colony deviates from the expected grid pattern. High values indicate misdetections, off-grid growth, or local plate warping. Used by refinement operations to filter outliers and select the most plausible colony per grid cell.

Parameters:

section_num (int | None)

classmethod __get_pydantic_json_schema__(core_schema: CoreSchema, handler: GetJsonSchemaHandler, /) JsonSchemaValue#

Hook into generating the model’s JSON schema.

Parameters:
  • core_schema (CoreSchema) – A pydantic-core CoreSchema. You can ignore this argument and call the handler with a new CoreSchema, wrap this CoreSchema ({‘type’: ‘nullable’, ‘schema’: current_schema}), or just call the handler with the original schema.

  • handler (GetJsonSchemaHandler) – Call into Pydantic’s internal JSON schema generation. This will raise a pydantic.errors.PydanticInvalidForJsonSchema if JSON schema generation fails. Since this gets called by BaseModel.model_json_schema you can override the schema_generator argument to that function to change JSON schema generation globally for a type.

Returns:

A JSON schema, as a Python object.

Return type:

JsonSchemaValue

classmethod __pydantic_init_subclass__(**kwargs: Any) None#

Populate field descriptions from the subclass docstring.

Runs once per concrete subclass after pydantic has built its model. Copies parameter descriptions parsed from the Google-style Args: docstring block onto each field’s description slot so they surface in model_json_schema() — the machine-readable contract used by downstream tooling (e.g. an MCP server).

Parameters:

**kwargs (Any) – Class-keyword arguments forwarded by pydantic.

Return type:

None

classmethod __pydantic_on_complete__() None#

This is called once the class and its fields are fully initialized and ready to be used.

This typically happens when the class is created (just before [__pydantic_init_subclass__()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.__pydantic_init_subclass__] is called on the superclass), except when forward annotations are used that could not immediately be resolved. In that case, it will be called later, when the model is rebuilt automatically or explicitly using [model_rebuild()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.model_rebuild].

Return type:

None

classmethod construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#
Parameters:
Return type:

Self

classmethod from_json(json_data: str | Path | dict) BaseOperation#

Reconstruct an operation from JSON written by to_json().

Accepts a JSON string, a path to a JSON file, or a pre-parsed envelope dict (same input handling as ImagePipeline.from_json()). Polymorphic: ImageOperation.from_json(path) returns whatever concrete operation the file holds. When called on a narrower subclass, the resolved class must be a subclass of it, else a TypeError is raised.

Parameters:

json_data (str | Path | dict) – A JSON string, path to a JSON file, or envelope dict.

Returns:

The reconstructed operation instance.

Raises:
  • AttributeError – If the recorded class cannot be resolved in the phenotypic namespace.

  • TypeError – If called on a concrete subclass and the file holds a class that is not a subclass of it.

Return type:

BaseOperation

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.abc_ import ImageOperation
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     OtsuDetector().to_json(p)
...     loaded = ImageOperation.from_json(p)  # polymorphic
>>> type(loaded).__name__

classmethod from_orm(obj: Any) Self#
Parameters:

obj (Any)

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set (set[str] | None) – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • values (Any) – Trusted or pre-validated data dictionary.

Returns:

A new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_json_schema(by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: str = '#/$defs/{model}', schema_generator: type[~pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema] = <class 'pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema'>, mode: ~typing.Literal['validation', 'serialization'] = 'validation', *, union_format: ~typing.Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array'] = 'any_of') dict[str, Any]#

Generates a JSON schema for a model class.

Parameters:
  • by_alias (bool) – Whether to use attribute aliases or not.

  • ref_template (str) – The reference template.

  • union_format (Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array']) –

    The format to use when combining schemas from unions together. Can be one of:

    keyword to combine schemas (the default). - ‘primitive_type_array’: Use the [type](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/type) keyword as an array of strings, containing each type of the combination. If any of the schemas is not a primitive type (string, boolean, null, integer or number) or contains constraints/metadata, falls back to any_of.

  • schema_generator (type[GenerateJsonSchema]) – To override the logic used to generate the JSON schema, as a subclass of GenerateJsonSchema with your desired modifications

  • mode (Literal['validation', 'serialization']) – The mode in which to generate the schema.

Returns:

The JSON schema for the given model class.

Return type:

  • update (Mapping[str, Any] | None) – Values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating the new model. You should trust this data.

  • deep (bool) – Set to True to make a deep copy of the model.

Returns:

New model instance.

Generate a dictionary representation of the model, optionally specifying which fields to include or exclude.

Parameters:
  • mode (Literal['json', 'python'] | str) – The mode in which to_python should run. If mode is ‘json’, the output will only contain JSON serializable types. If mode is ‘python’, the output may contain non-JSON-serializable Python objects.

  • include (set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | Mapping[str, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | None) – A set of fields to include in the output.

  • exclude (set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | Mapping[str, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | None) – A set of fields to exclude from the output.

  • context (Any | None) – Additional context to pass to the serializer.

  • by_alias (bool | None) – Whether to use the field’s alias in the dictionary key if defined.

  • exclude_defaults (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that are set to their default value.

  • exclude_none (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that have a value of None.

  • exclude_computed_fields (bool) – Whether to exclude computed fields. While this can be useful for round-tripping, it is usually recommended to use the dedicated round_trip parameter instead.

  • round_trip (bool) – If True, dumped values should be valid as input for non-idempotent types such as Json[T].

  • warnings (bool | Literal['none', 'warn', 'error']) – How to handle serialization errors. False/”none” ignores them, True/”warn” logs errors, “error” raises a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError].

  • fallback (Callable[[Any], Any] | None) – A function to call when an unknown value is encountered. If not provided, a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError] error is raised.

Returns:

A JSON string representation of the model.

Return type:

str

model_post_init(_BaseOperation__context: Any) None#

Initialize logging and memory tracking after model construction.

Replaces the legacy __init__ body: creates the per-class logger and, when that logger is enabled for INFO level or higher, starts tracemalloc so per-operation memory usage can be logged.

Parameters:
  • __context – Pydantic post-init context (unused).

  • _BaseOperation__context (Any)

Return type:

None

to_json(filepath: str | Path | None = None) str | None#

Serialize this operation to JSON.

Captures the operation as a {"class", "params"} envelope: params is model_dump(mode="json") (every declared field, including nested operations and raw arrays; PrivateAttr state such as loggers and timing is excluded automatically), and class records the concrete class name so from_json() can rebuild the right subclass. This mirrors ImagePipeline.to_json().

Parameters:

filepath (str | Path | None) – Optional path to write the JSON to. When None, the JSON string is returned instead. Accepts a str or Path.

Returns:

The JSON string when filepath is None, otherwise None.

Return type:

str | None

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> from phenotypic.sdk_ import CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION, ensure_typed_json_suffix
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     saved = ensure_typed_json_suffix(p, CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION)
...     OtsuDetector(ignore_zeros=True).to_json(p)
...     loaded = OtsuDetector.from_json(saved)
>>> loaded.ignore_zeros
True
model_computed_fields = {}#
model_config: ClassVar[ConfigDict] = {'arbitrary_types_allowed': True, 'extra': 'forbid', 'validate_assignment': True}#

Configuration for the model, should be a dictionary conforming to [ConfigDict][pydantic.config.ConfigDict].

property model_extra: dict[str, Any] | None#

Get extra fields set during validation.

Returns:

A dictionary of extra fields, or None if config.extra is not set to “allow”.

model_fields = {'section_num': FieldInfo(annotation=Union[int, NoneType], required=False, default=None, description='Grid section index to restrict measurements to. ``None`` measures across the entire grid. Default: ``None``.')}#
property model_fields_set: set[str]#

Returns the set of fields that have been explicitly set on this model instance.

Returns:

A set of strings representing the fields that have been set,

i.e. that were not filled from defaults.

section_num: int | None#
class phenotypic.measure.MeasureGridSpatial[source]#

Bases: GridMeasureFeatures

Measure pixel-to-pixel distances to neighbors in adjacent grid cells.

For each detected colony, identify the nearest object in the left, right, above, and below grid cells and report the minimum Euclidean distance between their pixel masks. Distances are computed via a per-section distance transform over a local window covering the target cell and its immediate neighbors, so round colonies are not over-estimated by their bounding boxes. Edge and corner colonies report NaN for directions beyond the plate boundary.

Returns:

pd.DataFrame: Object-level neighbor measurements with columns:

  • Label: unique object identifier.

  • LeftNeighborObjLabel, LeftDistance.

  • RightNeighborObjLabel, RightDistance.

  • AboveNeighborObjLabel, AboveDistance.

  • UnderNeighborObjLabel, UnderDistance.

  • NaN where no neighbor exists (out of plate, empty neighbor cell, or the colony is shielded by another colony in the same cell).

Best For:
  • Quantifying colony spacing and crowding to assess nutrient competition risk on arrayed plates, especially for round or irregular colony shapes where bounding-box geometry overstates proximity.

  • Flagging closely spaced colonies that may cross-contaminate.

  • Enabling neighbor-aware paired statistical comparisons for competition or cooperation studies.

classmethod __get_pydantic_json_schema__(core_schema: CoreSchema, handler: GetJsonSchemaHandler, /) JsonSchemaValue#

Hook into generating the model’s JSON schema.

Parameters:
  • core_schema (CoreSchema) – A pydantic-core CoreSchema. You can ignore this argument and call the handler with a new CoreSchema, wrap this CoreSchema ({‘type’: ‘nullable’, ‘schema’: current_schema}), or just call the handler with the original schema.

  • handler (GetJsonSchemaHandler) – Call into Pydantic’s internal JSON schema generation. This will raise a pydantic.errors.PydanticInvalidForJsonSchema if JSON schema generation fails. Since this gets called by BaseModel.model_json_schema you can override the schema_generator argument to that function to change JSON schema generation globally for a type.

Returns:

A JSON schema, as a Python object.

Return type:

JsonSchemaValue

classmethod __pydantic_init_subclass__(**kwargs: Any) None#

Populate field descriptions from the subclass docstring.

Runs once per concrete subclass after pydantic has built its model. Copies parameter descriptions parsed from the Google-style Args: docstring block onto each field’s description slot so they surface in model_json_schema() — the machine-readable contract used by downstream tooling (e.g. an MCP server).

Parameters:

**kwargs (Any) – Class-keyword arguments forwarded by pydantic.

Return type:

None

classmethod __pydantic_on_complete__() None#

This is called once the class and its fields are fully initialized and ready to be used.

This typically happens when the class is created (just before [__pydantic_init_subclass__()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.__pydantic_init_subclass__] is called on the superclass), except when forward annotations are used that could not immediately be resolved. In that case, it will be called later, when the model is rebuilt automatically or explicitly using [model_rebuild()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.model_rebuild].

Return type:

None

classmethod construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#
Parameters:
Return type:

Self

classmethod from_json(json_data: str | Path | dict) BaseOperation#

Reconstruct an operation from JSON written by to_json().

Accepts a JSON string, a path to a JSON file, or a pre-parsed envelope dict (same input handling as ImagePipeline.from_json()). Polymorphic: ImageOperation.from_json(path) returns whatever concrete operation the file holds. When called on a narrower subclass, the resolved class must be a subclass of it, else a TypeError is raised.

Parameters:

json_data (str | Path | dict) – A JSON string, path to a JSON file, or envelope dict.

Returns:

The reconstructed operation instance.

Raises:
  • AttributeError – If the recorded class cannot be resolved in the phenotypic namespace.

  • TypeError – If called on a concrete subclass and the file holds a class that is not a subclass of it.

Return type:

BaseOperation

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.abc_ import ImageOperation
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     OtsuDetector().to_json(p)
...     loaded = ImageOperation.from_json(p)  # polymorphic
>>> type(loaded).__name__
'OtsuDetector'
classmethod from_orm(obj: Any) Self#
Parameters:

classmethod model_construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set (set[str] | None) – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • values (Any) – Trusted or pre-validated data dictionary.

Returns:

A new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_json_schema(by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: str = '#/$defs/{model}', schema_generator: type[~pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema] = <class 'pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema'>, mode: ~typing.Literal['validation', 'serialization'] = 'validation', *, union_format: ~typing.Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array'] = 'any_of') dict[str, Any]#

Generates a JSON schema for a model class.

Parameters:
  • by_alias (bool) – Whether to use attribute aliases or not.

  • ref_template (str) – The reference template.

  • union_format (Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array']) –

    The format to use when combining schemas from unions together. Can be one of:

    keyword to combine schemas (the default). - ‘primitive_type_array’: Use the [type](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/type) keyword as an array of strings, containing each type of the combination. If any of the schemas is not a primitive type (string, boolean, null, integer or number) or contains constraints/metadata, falls back to any_of.

  • schema_generator (type[GenerateJsonSchema]) – To override the logic used to generate the JSON schema, as a subclass of GenerateJsonSchema with your desired modifications

  • mode (Literal['validation', 'serialization']) – The mode in which to generate the schema.

Returns:

The JSON schema for the given model class.

Return type:

dict[str, Any]

classmethod model_parametrized_name(params: tuple[type[Any], ...]) str#

Returns:

String representing the new class where params are passed to cls as type variables.

Raises:

TypeError – Raised when trying to generate concrete names for non-generic models.

Return type:

The underlying instance’s [__dict__][object.__dict__] attribute is copied. This might have unexpected side effects if you store anything in it, on top of the model fields (e.g. the value of [cached properties][functools.cached_property]).

Parameters:
  • update (Mapping[str, Any] | None) – Values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating the new model. You should trust this data.

  • deep (bool) – Set to True to make a deep copy of the model.

Returns:

New model instance.

[model_dump](../concepts/serialization.md#python-mode)

Generate a dictionary representation of the model, optionally specifying which fields to include or exclude.

Parameters:
  • mode (Literal['json', 'python'] | str) – The mode in which to_python should run. If mode is ‘json’, the output will only contain JSON serializable types. If mode is ‘python’, the output may contain non-JSON-serializable Python objects.

  • include (set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | Mapping[str, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | None) – A set of fields to include in the output.

  • exclude (set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | Mapping[str, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | None) – A set of fields to exclude from the output.

  • context (Any | None) – Additional context to pass to the serializer.

  • by_alias (bool | None) – Whether to use the field’s alias in the dictionary key if defined.

  • exclude_unset (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that have not been explicitly set.

  • exclude_defaults (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that are set to their default value.

  • exclude_none (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that have a value of None.

  • exclude_computed_fields (bool) – Whether to exclude computed fields. While this can be useful for round-tripping, it is usually recommended to use the dedicated round_trip parameter instead.

  • round_trip (bool) – If True, dumped values should be valid as input for non-idempotent types such as Json[T].

  • warnings (bool | Literal['none', 'warn', 'error']) – How to handle serialization errors. False/”none” ignores them, True/”warn” logs errors, “error” raises a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError].

  • fallback (Callable[[Any], Any] | None) – A function to call when an unknown value is encountered. If not provided, a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError] error is raised.

  • serialize_as_any (bool) – Whether to serialize fields with duck-typing serialization behavior.

[model_dump_json](../concepts/serialization.md#json-mode)

Generates a JSON representation of the model using Pydantic’s to_json method.

Parameters:
  • indent (int | None) – Indentation to use in the JSON output. If None is passed, the output will be compact.

Returns:

A JSON string representation of the model.

Return type:

str

model_post_init(_BaseOperation__context: Any) None#

Initialize logging and memory tracking after model construction.

Replaces the legacy __init__ body: creates the per-class logger and, when that logger is enabled for INFO level or higher, starts tracemalloc so per-operation memory usage can be logged.

Parameters:
  • __context – Pydantic post-init context (unused).

  • _BaseOperation__context (Any)

Return type:

None

to_json(filepath: str | Path | None = None) str | None#

Serialize this operation to JSON.

Captures the operation as a {"class", "params"} envelope: params is model_dump(mode="json") (every declared field, including nested operations and raw arrays; PrivateAttr state such as loggers and timing is excluded automatically), and class records the concrete class name so from_json() can rebuild the right subclass. This mirrors ImagePipeline.to_json().

Parameters:

filepath (str | Path | None) – Optional path to write the JSON to. When None, the JSON string is returned instead. Accepts a str or Path.

Returns:

The JSON string when filepath is None, otherwise None.

Return type:

str | None

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> from phenotypic.sdk_ import CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION, ensure_typed_json_suffix
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     saved = ensure_typed_json_suffix(p, CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION)
...     OtsuDetector(ignore_zeros=True).to_json(p)
...     loaded = OtsuDetector.from_json(saved)
>>> loaded.ignore_zeros
True
model_computed_fields = {}#
model_config: ClassVar[ConfigDict] = {'arbitrary_types_allowed': True, 'extra': 'forbid', 'validate_assignment': True}#

Configuration for the model, should be a dictionary conforming to [ConfigDict][pydantic.config.ConfigDict].

property model_extra: dict[str, Any] | None#

Get extra fields set during validation.

Returns:

A dictionary of extra fields, or None if config.extra is not set to “allow”.

model_fields = {}#
property model_fields_set: set[str]#

Returns the set of fields that have been explicitly set on this model instance.

Returns:

A set of strings representing the fields that have been set,

i.e. that were not filled from defaults.

class phenotypic.measure.MeasureGridSpread[source]#

Bases: GridMeasureFeatures

Quantify within-well colony dispersion using pairwise centroid distances.

Compute the sum of squared pairwise Euclidean distances between all colony centroids in each grid section. High values indicate multiple dispersed objects within a single well – a sign of over-segmentation, fragmented growth, or invasive spreading.

Returns:

pd.DataFrame: Section-level statistics sorted by spread (descending) with columns:

  • count: number of colonies detected in the section.

  • ObjectSpread: sum of squared pairwise Euclidean distances between colony centroids in the section.

Best For:
  • Detecting over-segmented wells where multiple objects were found instead of a single cohesive colony.

  • Identifying invasive or spreading growth that extends beyond the designated grid position.

  • Flagging wells with questionable data quality for manual review or exclusion from downstream analysis.

Category: GridSpread#

Name

Description

ObjectSpread

Sum of squared pairwise Euclidean distances between all unique colony pairs within a grid section. Quantifies spatial dispersion of colonies in a grid cell. Higher values indicate greater spread from the section center, suggesting over-segmentation, multi-detections, or colonies growing beyond expected boundaries. Used to identify problematic grid sections requiring refinement or quality review.

classmethod __get_pydantic_json_schema__(core_schema: CoreSchema, handler: GetJsonSchemaHandler, /) JsonSchemaValue#

Hook into generating the model’s JSON schema.

Parameters:
  • core_schema (CoreSchema) – A pydantic-core CoreSchema. You can ignore this argument and call the handler with a new CoreSchema, wrap this CoreSchema ({‘type’: ‘nullable’, ‘schema’: current_schema}), or just call the handler with the original schema.

  • handler (GetJsonSchemaHandler) – Call into Pydantic’s internal JSON schema generation. This will raise a pydantic.errors.PydanticInvalidForJsonSchema if JSON schema generation fails. Since this gets called by BaseModel.model_json_schema you can override the schema_generator argument to that function to change JSON schema generation globally for a type.

Returns:

A JSON schema, as a Python object.

Return type:

JsonSchemaValue

classmethod __pydantic_init_subclass__(**kwargs: Any) None#

Populate field descriptions from the subclass docstring.

Runs once per concrete subclass after pydantic has built its model. Copies parameter descriptions parsed from the Google-style Args: docstring block onto each field’s description slot so they surface in model_json_schema() — the machine-readable contract used by downstream tooling (e.g. an MCP server).

Parameters:

**kwargs (Any) – Class-keyword arguments forwarded by pydantic.

Return type:

None

classmethod __pydantic_on_complete__() None#

This is called once the class and its fields are fully initialized and ready to be used.

This typically happens when the class is created (just before [__pydantic_init_subclass__()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.__pydantic_init_subclass__] is called on the superclass), except when forward annotations are used that could not immediately be resolved. In that case, it will be called later, when the model is rebuilt automatically or explicitly using [model_rebuild()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.model_rebuild].

Return type:

None

classmethod construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#
Parameters:
Return type:

Self

classmethod from_json(json_data: str | Path | dict) BaseOperation#

Reconstruct an operation from JSON written by to_json().

Accepts a JSON string, a path to a JSON file, or a pre-parsed envelope dict (same input handling as ImagePipeline.from_json()). Polymorphic: ImageOperation.from_json(path) returns whatever concrete operation the file holds. When called on a narrower subclass, the resolved class must be a subclass of it, else a TypeError is raised.

Parameters:

json_data (str | Path | dict) – A JSON string, path to a JSON file, or envelope dict.

Returns:

The reconstructed operation instance.

Raises:
  • AttributeError – If the recorded class cannot be resolved in the phenotypic namespace.

  • TypeError – If called on a concrete subclass and the file holds a class that is not a subclass of it.

Return type:

BaseOperation

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.abc_ import ImageOperation
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     OtsuDetector().to_json(p)
...     loaded = ImageOperation.from_json(p)  # polymorphic
>>> type(loaded).__name__
'OtsuDetector'
classmethod from_orm(obj: Any) Self#
Parameters:

obj (Any)

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set (set[str] | None) – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • values (Any) – Trusted or pre-validated data dictionary.

Returns:

A new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_json_schema(by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: str = '#/$defs/{model}', schema_generator: type[~pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema] = <class 'pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema'>, mode: ~typing.Literal['validation', 'serialization'] = 'validation', *, union_format: ~typing.Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array'] = 'any_of') dict[str, Any]#

Generates a JSON schema for a model class.

Parameters:
  • by_alias (bool) – Whether to use attribute aliases or not.

  • ref_template (str) – The reference template.

  • union_format (Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array']) –

    The format to use when combining schemas from unions together. Can be one of:

    keyword to combine schemas (the default). - ‘primitive_type_array’: Use the [type](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/type) keyword as an array of strings, containing each type of the combination. If any of the schemas is not a primitive type (string, boolean, null, integer or number) or contains constraints/metadata, falls back to any_of.

  • schema_generator (type[GenerateJsonSchema]) – To override the logic used to generate the JSON schema, as a subclass of GenerateJsonSchema with your desired modifications

  • mode (Literal['validation', 'serialization']) – The mode in which to generate the schema.

Returns:

The JSON schema for the given model class.

Return type:

dict[str, Any]

classmethod model_parametrized_name(params: tuple[type[Any], ...]) str#

Returns:

String representing the new class where params are passed to cls as type variables.

Raises:

TypeError – Raised when trying to generate concrete names for non-generic models.

Return type:

[model_dump](../concepts/serialization.md#python-mode)

Generate a dictionary representation of the model, optionally specifying which fields to include or exclude.

Parameters:
  • mode (Literal['json', 'python'] | str) – The mode in which to_python should run. If mode is ‘json’, the output will only contain JSON serializable types. If mode is ‘python’, the output may contain non-JSON-serializable Python objects.

  • include (set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | Mapping[str, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | None) – A set of fields to include in the output.

  • exclude (set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | Mapping[str, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | None) – A set of fields to exclude from the output.

  • context (Any | None) – Additional context to pass to the serializer.

  • by_alias (bool | None) – Whether to use the field’s alias in the dictionary key if defined.

  • exclude_unset (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that have not been explicitly set.

  • exclude_defaults (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that are set to their default value.

  • exclude_none (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that have a value of None.

  • exclude_computed_fields (bool) – Whether to exclude computed fields. While this can be useful for round-tripping, it is usually recommended to use the dedicated round_trip parameter instead.

  • round_trip (bool) – If True, dumped values should be valid as input for non-idempotent types such as Json[T].

  • warnings (bool | Literal['none', 'warn', 'error']) – How to handle serialization errors. False/”none” ignores them, True/”warn” logs errors, “error” raises a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError].

  • fallback (Callable[[Any], Any] | None) – A function to call when an unknown value is encountered. If not provided, a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError] error is raised.

  • serialize_as_any (bool) – Whether to serialize fields with duck-typing serialization behavior.

[model_dump_json](../concepts/serialization.md#json-mode)

Generates a JSON representation of the model using Pydantic’s to_json method.

Parameters:
  • indent (int | None) – Indentation to use in the JSON output. If None is passed, the output will be compact.

Returns:

A JSON string representation of the model.

Return type:

str

model_post_init(_BaseOperation__context: Any) None#

Initialize logging and memory tracking after model construction.

Replaces the legacy __init__ body: creates the per-class logger and, when that logger is enabled for INFO level or higher, starts tracemalloc so per-operation memory usage can be logged.

Parameters:
  • __context – Pydantic post-init context (unused).

  • _BaseOperation__context (Any)

Return type:

None

to_json(filepath: str | Path | None = None) str | None#

Serialize this operation to JSON.

Captures the operation as a {"class", "params"} envelope: params is model_dump(mode="json") (every declared field, including nested operations and raw arrays; PrivateAttr state such as loggers and timing is excluded automatically), and class records the concrete class name so from_json() can rebuild the right subclass. This mirrors ImagePipeline.to_json().

Parameters:

filepath (str | Path | None) – Optional path to write the JSON to. When None, the JSON string is returned instead. Accepts a str or Path.

Returns:

The JSON string when filepath is None, otherwise None.

Return type:

str | None

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> from phenotypic.sdk_ import CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION, ensure_typed_json_suffix
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     saved = ensure_typed_json_suffix(p, CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION)
...     OtsuDetector(ignore_zeros=True).to_json(p)
...     loaded = OtsuDetector.from_json(saved)
>>> loaded.ignore_zeros
True
model_computed_fields = {}#
model_config: ClassVar[ConfigDict] = {'arbitrary_types_allowed': True, 'extra': 'forbid', 'validate_assignment': True}#

Configuration for the model, should be a dictionary conforming to [ConfigDict][pydantic.config.ConfigDict].

property model_extra: dict[str, Any] | None#

Get extra fields set during validation.

Returns:

A dictionary of extra fields, or None if config.extra is not set to “allow”.

model_fields = {}#
property model_fields_set: set[str]#

Returns the set of fields that have been explicitly set on this model instance.

Returns:

A set of strings representing the fields that have been set,

i.e. that were not filled from defaults.

class phenotypic.measure.MeasureIntensity[source]#

Bases: MeasureFeatures

Measure grayscale intensity statistics of detected colonies.

Compute per-colony intensity metrics from the grayscale channel: integrated intensity, percentiles (min, Q1, median, Q3, max), standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and area-normalized density. These statistics reflect colony optical density, biomass accumulation, and internal heterogeneity.

Returns:

pd.DataFrame: Object-level intensity statistics with columns:

  • Label, IntegratedIntensity, MinimumIntensity, MaximumIntensity, MeanIntensity, MedianIntensity.

  • LowerQuartileIntensity, UpperQuartileIntensity, InterquartileRangeIntensity.

  • StandardDeviationIntensity, CoefficientVarianceIntensity.

  • Density (integrated intensity / area), ConvexDensity (integrated intensity / convex area).

Best For:
  • Tracking colony growth over time via integrated intensity as an optical-density proxy.

  • Detecting metabolically stressed or slow-growing colonies through low mean intensity.

  • Identifying sectored or chimeric colonies by high within-colony intensity variance.

  • Automated colony picking based on biomass thresholds.

Consider Also:
  • MeasureSize for lightweight area and integrated intensity without full statistics.

  • MeasureColor for multi-channel color statistics when pigmentation is relevant.

  • MeasureTexture for surface-roughness features that complement intensity metrics.

See Also:

classmethod __get_pydantic_json_schema__(core_schema: CoreSchema, handler: GetJsonSchemaHandler, /) JsonSchemaValue#

Hook into generating the model’s JSON schema.

Parameters:
  • core_schema (CoreSchema) – A pydantic-core CoreSchema. You can ignore this argument and call the handler with a new CoreSchema, wrap this CoreSchema ({‘type’: ‘nullable’, ‘schema’: current_schema}), or just call the handler with the original schema.

  • handler (GetJsonSchemaHandler) – Call into Pydantic’s internal JSON schema generation. This will raise a pydantic.errors.PydanticInvalidForJsonSchema if JSON schema generation fails. Since this gets called by BaseModel.model_json_schema you can override the schema_generator argument to that function to change JSON schema generation globally for a type.

Returns:

A JSON schema, as a Python object.

Return type:

JsonSchemaValue

classmethod __pydantic_init_subclass__(**kwargs: Any) None#

Populate field descriptions from the subclass docstring.

Runs once per concrete subclass after pydantic has built its model. Copies parameter descriptions parsed from the Google-style Args: docstring block onto each field’s description slot so they surface in model_json_schema() — the machine-readable contract used by downstream tooling (e.g. an MCP server).

Parameters:

**kwargs (Any) – Class-keyword arguments forwarded by pydantic.

Return type:

None

classmethod __pydantic_on_complete__() None#

This is called once the class and its fields are fully initialized and ready to be used.

This typically happens when the class is created (just before [__pydantic_init_subclass__()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.__pydantic_init_subclass__] is called on the superclass), except when forward annotations are used that could not immediately be resolved. In that case, it will be called later, when the model is rebuilt automatically or explicitly using [model_rebuild()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.model_rebuild].

Return type:

None

classmethod construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#
Parameters:
Return type:

Self

classmethod from_json(json_data: str | Path | dict) BaseOperation#

Reconstruct an operation from JSON written by to_json().

Accepts a JSON string, a path to a JSON file, or a pre-parsed envelope dict (same input handling as ImagePipeline.from_json()). Polymorphic: ImageOperation.from_json(path) returns whatever concrete operation the file holds. When called on a narrower subclass, the resolved class must be a subclass of it, else a TypeError is raised.

Parameters:

json_data (str | Path | dict) – A JSON string, path to a JSON file, or envelope dict.

Returns:

The reconstructed operation instance.

Raises:
  • AttributeError – If the recorded class cannot be resolved in the phenotypic namespace.

  • TypeError – If called on a concrete subclass and the file holds a class that is not a subclass of it.

Return type:

BaseOperation

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.abc_ import ImageOperation
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     OtsuDetector().to_json(p)
...     loaded = ImageOperation.from_json(p)  # polymorphic
>>> type(loaded).__name__
'OtsuDetector'

classmethod model_construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set (set[str] | None) – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • values (Any) – Trusted or pre-validated data dictionary.

Returns:

A new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_json_schema(by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: str = '#/$defs/{model}', schema_generator: type[~pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema] = <class 'pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema'>, mode: ~typing.Literal['validation', 'serialization'] = 'validation', *, union_format: ~typing.Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array'] = 'any_of') dict[str, Any]#

Generates a JSON schema for a model class.

Parameters:
  • by_alias (bool) – Whether to use attribute aliases or not.

  • ref_template (str) – The reference template.

  • union_format (Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array']) –

    The format to use when combining schemas from unions together. Can be one of:

    keyword to combine schemas (the default). - ‘primitive_type_array’: Use the [type](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/type) keyword as an array of strings, containing each type of the combination. If any of the schemas is not a primitive type (string, boolean, null, integer or number) or contains constraints/metadata, falls back to any_of.

  • schema_generator (type[GenerateJsonSchema]) – To override the logic used to generate the JSON schema, as a subclass of GenerateJsonSchema with your desired modifications

  • mode (Literal['validation', 'serialization']) – The mode in which to generate the schema.

Returns:

The JSON schema for the given model class.

Return type:

dict[str, Any]

classmethod model_parametrized_name(params: tuple[type[Any], ...]) str#

Returns:

String representing the new class where params are passed to cls as type variables.

Raises:

TypeError – Raised when trying to generate concrete names for non-generic models.

measure(image, include_meta=False)#

Execute the measurement operation on a detected-object image.

This is the main public API method for extracting measurements. It handles: input validation, parameter extraction via introspection, calling the subclass-specific _operate() method, optional metadata merging, and exception handling.

How it works (for users):

  1. Pass your processed Image (with detected objects) to measure()

  2. The method calls your subclass’s _operate() implementation

  3. Results are validated and returned as a pandas DataFrame

  4. If include_meta=True, image metadata (filename, grid info) is merged in

How it works (for developers):

When you subclass MeasureFeatures, you only implement _operate(). This measure() method automatically:

  • Calls _operate(), which reads its parameters from self

  • Validates the Image has detected objects (objmap)

  • Wraps exceptions in OperationFailedError with context

  • Merges grid/object metadata if requested

Parameters:
  • image (Image) – A PhenoTypic Image object with detected objects (must have non-empty objmap from a prior detection operation).

  • include_meta (bool, optional) – If True, merge image metadata columns (filename, grid position, etc.) into the results DataFrame. Defaults to False.

Returns:

Measurement results with structure:

  • First column: OBJECT.LABEL (integer IDs from image.objmap[:])

  • Remaining columns: Measurement values (float, int, or string)

  • One row per detected object

If include_meta=True, additional metadata columns are prepended before OBJECT.LABEL (e.g., Filename, GridRow, GridCol).

Return type:

pd.DataFrame

Raises:

OperationFailedError – If _operate() raises any exception, it is caught and re-raised as OperationFailedError with details including the original exception type, message, image name, and operation class. This provides consistent error handling across all measurers.

Notes

  • This method is the main entry point; do not override in subclasses

  • Subclasses implement _operate() only, not this method

  • Automatic memory profiling is available via logging configuration

  • Image must have detected objects (image.objmap should be non-empty)

Examples

Basic measurement extraction:

>>> from phenotypic import Image
>>> from phenotypic.measure import MeasureSize
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> # Load and detect
>>> image = Image('plate.jpg')
>>> image = OtsuDetector().operate(image)
>>> # Extract measurements
>>> measurer = MeasureSize()
>>> df = measurer.measure(image)
>>> print(df.head())

Include metadata in measurements:

>>> # With image metadata (filename, grid info)
>>> df_with_meta = measurer.measure(image, include_meta=True)
>>> print(df_with_meta.columns)
# Output: ['Filename', 'GridRow', 'GridCol', 'OBJECT.LABEL',
#          'Area', 'IntegratedIntensity', ...]
model_copy(*, update: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None, deep: bool = False) Self#
!!! abstract “Usage Documentation”

[model_copy](../concepts/models.md#model-copy)

Returns a copy of the model.

!!! note

The underlying instance’s [__dict__][object.__dict__] attribute is copied. This might have unexpected side effects if you store anything in it, on top of the model fields (e.g. the value of [cached properties][functools.cached_property]).

Parameters:
  • update (Mapping[str, Any] | None) – Values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating the new model. You should trust this data.

  • deep (bool) – Set to True to make a deep copy of the model.

Returns:

New model instance.

Return type:

str

model_post_init(_BaseOperation__context: Any) None#

Initialize logging and memory tracking after model construction.

Replaces the legacy __init__ body: creates the per-class logger and, when that logger is enabled for INFO level or higher, starts tracemalloc so per-operation memory usage can be logged.

Parameters:
  • __context – Pydantic post-init context (unused).

  • _BaseOperation__context (Any)

Return type:

None

to_json(filepath: str | Path | None = None) str | None#

Serialize this operation to JSON.

Captures the operation as a {"class", "params"} envelope: params is model_dump(mode="json") (every declared field, including nested operations and raw arrays; PrivateAttr state such as loggers and timing is excluded automatically), and class records the concrete class name so from_json() can rebuild the right subclass. This mirrors ImagePipeline.to_json().

Parameters:

filepath (str | Path | None) – Optional path to write the JSON to. When None, the JSON string is returned instead. Accepts a str or Path.

Returns:

The JSON string when filepath is None, otherwise None.

Return type:

str | None

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> from phenotypic.sdk_ import CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION, ensure_typed_json_suffix
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     saved = ensure_typed_json_suffix(p, CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION)
...     OtsuDetector(ignore_zeros=True).to_json(p)
...     loaded = OtsuDetector.from_json(saved)
>>> loaded.ignore_zeros
True
model_computed_fields = {}#
model_config: ClassVar[ConfigDict] = {'arbitrary_types_allowed': True, 'extra': 'forbid', 'validate_assignment': True}#

Configuration for the model, should be a dictionary conforming to [ConfigDict][pydantic.config.ConfigDict].

property model_extra: dict[str, Any] | None#

Get extra fields set during validation.

Returns:

A dictionary of extra fields, or None if config.extra is not set to “allow”.

model_fields = {}#
property model_fields_set: set[str]#

Returns the set of fields that have been explicitly set on this model instance.

Returns:

A set of strings representing the fields that have been set,

i.e. that were not filled from defaults.

class phenotypic.measure.MeasureShape[source]#

Bases: MeasureFeatures

Measure comprehensive morphological characteristics of detected colonies.

Extract geometric metrics from each colony shape: area, perimeter, circularity, convex hull properties, width-based measures, Feret diameters, eccentricity, and best-fit ellipse parameters. The output DataFrame provides a full morphological profile for phenotypic classification and growth-pattern analysis.

Returns:

pd.DataFrame: Object-level morphological measurements with columns:

  • Label, Area, Perimeter, Circularity, Compactness, ConvexArea, Solidity, Extent, BboxArea.

  • MeanRadius, MedianRadius, MaxRadius (distance-transform based).

  • MinFeretDiameter, MaxFeretDiameter (caliper diameters).

  • MajorAxisLength, MinorAxisLength, Eccentricity, Orientation.

Best For:
  • Distinguishing colony morphotypes (smooth circular wild-type vs wrinkled, branching, or invasive mutants).

  • Assessing growth symmetry and directionality via eccentricity and orientation.

  • Detecting invasive or spreading growth through low solidity values.

  • Morphological clustering for automated strain identification.

Consider Also:
  • MeasureSize for a lightweight area-only measurement when full morphology is not needed.

  • MeasureTexture for surface roughness and pattern features that complement shape metrics.

  • MeasureBounds for bounding box and centroid data without shape statistics.

Category: Shape#

Name

Description

Biology

Image

Area

Total number of pixels occupied by the microbial colony. Represents colony biomass and growth extent on agar plates. Larger areas typically indicate more robust growth or longer incubation times.

Projected 2D footprint of the colony in pixels — a common proxy for colony size and overall growth in arrayed plate assays. With matched imaging and incubation, larger area generally reflects greater proliferation or spreading; it captures only the 2D footprint, not colony height or cell density.

../_images/area.png

Perimeter

Total length of the colony’s outer boundary in pixels. Measures colony edge complexity and surface irregularity. Smooth, circular colonies have shorter perimeters relative to their area compared to irregular or filamentous colonies.

Circularity

Calculated as \(\frac{4\pi*\text{Area}}{\text{Perimeter}^2}\). Measures how closely a colony approximates a perfect circle (value = 1). Values < 1 indicate irregular colony morphology, which may result from genetic mutations, environmental stress, or mixed microbial populations on agar plates.

ConvexArea

Area of the smallest convex polygon that completely contains the colony. Represents the colony’s “filled-in” appearance if all indentations and holes were removed. Useful for detecting colony spreading patterns or invasive growth characteristics.

MedianRadius

Median distance from colony center to edge across all directions. Provides a robust measure of typical colony size that is less sensitive to outliers than mean width. Particularly useful for colonies with uneven growth or sectoring.

MeanRadius

Average distance from colony center to edge across all directions. Represents overall colony expansion rate. In arrayed growth assays, this correlates with microbial fitness and growth kinetics under controlled conditions.

MaxRadius

Maximum distance from colony center to edge across all directions. Represents the furthest extent of colony growth from its center. In arrayed microbial assays, this measurement helps identify asymmetric growth patterns or colonies extending toward neighboring positions.

MinFeretDiameter

Minimum caliper diameter - the shortest distance between two parallel tangent lines touching opposite sides of the colony. Represents the narrowest dimension of the colony regardless of orientation. Useful for detecting elongated or irregular colony morphologies and measuring colony width.

MaxFeretDiameter

Maximum caliper diameter - the longest distance between two parallel tangent lines touching opposite sides of the colony. Represents the maximum dimension of the colony regardless of orientation. Often exceeds major axis length for irregular shapes and helps quantify maximum colony extent.

Eccentricity

Measure of colony elongation, ranging from 0 (perfect circle) to 1 (highly elongated). Values near 0 indicate compact, radially symmetric growth typical of healthy bacterial colonies, while higher values may suggest directional growth, motility, or environmental gradients on the agar surface.

Solidity

Ratio of actual colony area to its convex hull area (Area/ConvexArea). Values near 1 indicate compact, solid colonies with minimal indentations. Lower values (< 0.9) may indicate invasive growth, colony spreading, or the presence of clearing zones around colonies.

Extent

Ratio of colony area to its bounding box area (ObjectArea/BboxArea). Measures how efficiently the colony fills its allocated space. Compact colonies have higher extent values, while spread-out or irregular colonies have lower values.

BboxArea

Area of the smallest rectangle that completely contains the colony. Represents the total spatial shape of the colony including any empty space. In high-throughput assays, this helps assess colony positioning and potential interference with neighboring colonies.

MajorAxisLength

Length of the longest axis of the ellipse that best fits the colony shape. Represents the maximum colony dimension. In arrayed microbial growth, this measurement helps identify colonies that have grown beyond their intended grid positions.

MinorAxisLength

Length of the shortest axis of the ellipse that best fits the colony shape. Represents the minimum colony dimension. Together with major axis length, this helps characterize colony aspect ratio and growth anisotropy.

Compactness

Calculated as \(\frac{\text{Perimeter}^2}{4\pi*\text{Area}}\). Inverse of circularity (ranges from 1 for perfect circles to higher values for irregular shapes). Measures colony shape complexity - compact, circular colonies have values near 1, while irregular or filamentous colonies have much higher values.

Orientation

Angle (in radians) between the colony’s major axis and the horizontal axis. Measures colony alignment and growth directionality. Random orientations are typical for most bacterial colonies, while consistent orientations may indicate environmental gradients or mechanical stresses during plating.

classmethod __get_pydantic_json_schema__(core_schema: CoreSchema, handler: GetJsonSchemaHandler, /) JsonSchemaValue#

Hook into generating the model’s JSON schema.

Parameters:
  • core_schema (CoreSchema) – A pydantic-core CoreSchema. You can ignore this argument and call the handler with a new CoreSchema, wrap this CoreSchema ({‘type’: ‘nullable’, ‘schema’: current_schema}), or just call the handler with the original schema.

  • handler (GetJsonSchemaHandler) – Call into Pydantic’s internal JSON schema generation. This will raise a pydantic.errors.PydanticInvalidForJsonSchema if JSON schema generation fails. Since this gets called by BaseModel.model_json_schema you can override the schema_generator argument to that function to change JSON schema generation globally for a type.

Returns:

A JSON schema, as a Python object.

Return type:

JsonSchemaValue

classmethod __pydantic_init_subclass__(**kwargs: Any) None#

Populate field descriptions from the subclass docstring.

Runs once per concrete subclass after pydantic has built its model. Copies parameter descriptions parsed from the Google-style Args: docstring block onto each field’s description slot so they surface in model_json_schema() — the machine-readable contract used by downstream tooling (e.g. an MCP server).

Parameters:

**kwargs (Any) – Class-keyword arguments forwarded by pydantic.

Return type:

None

classmethod __pydantic_on_complete__() None#

This is called once the class and its fields are fully initialized and ready to be used.

This typically happens when the class is created (just before [__pydantic_init_subclass__()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.__pydantic_init_subclass__] is called on the superclass), except when forward annotations are used that could not immediately be resolved. In that case, it will be called later, when the model is rebuilt automatically or explicitly using [model_rebuild()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.model_rebuild].

Return type:

None

classmethod construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#
Parameters:
Return type:

Self

classmethod from_json(json_data: str | Path | dict) BaseOperation#

Reconstruct an operation from JSON written by to_json().

Accepts a JSON string, a path to a JSON file, or a pre-parsed envelope dict (same input handling as ImagePipeline.from_json()). Polymorphic: ImageOperation.from_json(path) returns whatever concrete operation the file holds. When called on a narrower subclass, the resolved class must be a subclass of it, else a TypeError is raised.

Parameters:

json_data (str | Path | dict) – A JSON string, path to a JSON file, or envelope dict.

Returns:

The reconstructed operation instance.

Raises:
  • AttributeError – If the recorded class cannot be resolved in the phenotypic namespace.

  • TypeError – If called on a concrete subclass and the file holds a class that is not a subclass of it.

Return type:

BaseOperation

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.abc_ import ImageOperation
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     OtsuDetector().to_json(p)
...     loaded = ImageOperation.from_json(p)  # polymorphic
>>> type(loaded).__name__
'OtsuDetector'
classmethod from_orm(obj: Any) Self#
Parameters:

obj (Any)

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set (set[str] | None) – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • values (Any) – Trusted or pre-validated data dictionary.

Returns:

A new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_json_schema(by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: str = '#/$defs/{model}', schema_generator: type[~pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema] = <class 'pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema'>, mode: ~typing.Literal['validation', 'serialization'] = 'validation', *, union_format: ~typing.Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array'] = 'any_of') dict[str, Any]#

Generates a JSON schema for a model class.

Parameters:
  • by_alias (bool) – Whether to use attribute aliases or not.

  • ref_template (str) – The reference template.

  • union_format (Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array']) –

    The format to use when combining schemas from unions together. Can be one of:

    keyword to combine schemas (the default). - ‘primitive_type_array’: Use the [type](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/type) keyword as an array of strings, containing each type of the combination. If any of the schemas is not a primitive type (string, boolean, null, integer or number) or contains constraints/metadata, falls back to any_of.

  • schema_generator (type[GenerateJsonSchema]) – To override the logic used to generate the JSON schema, as a subclass of GenerateJsonSchema with your desired modifications

  • mode (Literal['validation', 'serialization']) – The mode in which to generate the schema.

Returns:

The JSON schema for the given model class.

Return type:

dict[str, Any]

classmethod model_parametrized_name(params: tuple[type[Any], ...]) str#

Returns:

String representing the new class where params are passed to cls as type variables.

Raises:

TypeError – Raised when trying to generate concrete names for non-generic models.

measure(image, include_meta=False)#

Execute the measurement operation on a detected-object image.

This is the main public API method for extracting measurements. It handles: input validation, parameter extraction via introspection, calling the subclass-specific _operate() method, optional metadata merging, and exception handling.

How it works (for users):

  1. Pass your processed Image (with detected objects) to measure()

  2. The method calls your subclass’s _operate() implementation

  3. Results are validated and returned as a pandas DataFrame

  4. If include_meta=True, image metadata (filename, grid info) is merged in

How it works (for developers):

When you subclass MeasureFeatures, you only implement _operate(). This measure() method automatically:

  • Calls _operate(), which reads its parameters from self

  • Validates the Image has detected objects (objmap)

  • Wraps exceptions in OperationFailedError with context

  • Merges grid/object metadata if requested

Parameters:
  • image (Image) – A PhenoTypic Image object with detected objects (must have non-empty objmap from a prior detection operation).

  • include_meta (bool, optional) – If True, merge image metadata columns (filename, grid position, etc.) into the results DataFrame. Defaults to False.

Returns:

Measurement results with structure:

  • First column: OBJECT.LABEL (integer IDs from image.objmap[:])

  • Remaining columns: Measurement values (float, int, or string)

  • One row per detected object

If include_meta=True, additional metadata columns are prepended before OBJECT.LABEL (e.g., Filename, GridRow, GridCol).

Return type:

pd.DataFrame

Raises:

OperationFailedError – If _operate() raises any exception, it is caught and re-raised as OperationFailedError with details including the original exception type, message, image name, and operation class. This provides consistent error handling across all measurers.

Notes

  • This method is the main entry point; do not override in subclasses

  • Subclasses implement _operate() only, not this method

  • Automatic memory profiling is available via logging configuration

  • Image must have detected objects (image.objmap should be non-empty)

Examples

Basic measurement extraction:

>>> from phenotypic import Image
>>> from phenotypic.measure import MeasureSize
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> # Load and detect
>>> image = Image('plate.jpg')
>>> image = OtsuDetector().operate(image)
>>> # Extract measurements
>>> measurer = MeasureSize()
>>> df = measurer.measure(image)
>>> print(df.head())

Include metadata in measurements:

>>> # With image metadata (filename, grid info)
>>> df_with_meta = measurer.measure(image, include_meta=True)
>>> print(df_with_meta.columns)
# Output: ['Filename', 'GridRow', 'GridCol', 'OBJECT.LABEL',
#          'Area', 'IntegratedIntensity', ...]
model_copy(*, update: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None, deep: bool = False) Self#
!!! abstract “Usage Documentation”

[model_copy](../concepts/models.md#model-copy)

Returns a copy of the model.

!!! note

The underlying instance’s [__dict__][object.__dict__] attribute is copied. This might have unexpected side effects if you store anything in it, on top of the model fields (e.g. the value of [cached properties][functools.cached_property]).

Parameters:
  • update (Mapping[str, Any] | None) – Values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating the new model. You should trust this data.

  • deep (bool) – Set to True to make a deep copy of the model.

Generate a dictionary representation of the model, optionally specifying which fields to include or exclude.

Parameters:
  • mode (Literal['json', 'python'] | str) – The mode in which to_python should run. If mode is ‘json’, the output will only contain JSON serializable types. If mode is ‘python’, the output may contain non-JSON-serializable Python objects.

Returns:

A JSON string representation of the model.

Return type:

str

model_post_init(_BaseOperation__context: Any) None#

Initialize logging and memory tracking after model construction.

Replaces the legacy __init__ body: creates the per-class logger and, when that logger is enabled for INFO level or higher, starts tracemalloc so per-operation memory usage can be logged.

Parameters:
  • __context – Pydantic post-init context (unused).

  • _BaseOperation__context (Any)

Return type:

None

to_json(filepath: str | Path | None = None) str | None#

Serialize this operation to JSON.

Captures the operation as a {"class", "params"} envelope: params is model_dump(mode="json") (every declared field, including nested operations and raw arrays; PrivateAttr state such as loggers and timing is excluded automatically), and class records the concrete class name so from_json() can rebuild the right subclass. This mirrors ImagePipeline.to_json().

Parameters:

filepath (str | Path | None) – Optional path to write the JSON to. When None, the JSON string is returned instead. Accepts a str or Path.

Returns:

The JSON string when filepath is None, otherwise None.

Return type:

str | None

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> from phenotypic.sdk_ import CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION, ensure_typed_json_suffix
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     saved = ensure_typed_json_suffix(p, CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION)
...     OtsuDetector(ignore_zeros=True).to_json(p)
...     loaded = OtsuDetector.from_json(saved)
>>> loaded.ignore_zeros
True
model_computed_fields = {}#
model_config: ClassVar[ConfigDict] = {'arbitrary_types_allowed': True, 'extra': 'forbid', 'validate_assignment': True}#

Configuration for the model, should be a dictionary conforming to [ConfigDict][pydantic.config.ConfigDict].

property model_extra: dict[str, Any] | None#

Get extra fields set during validation.

Returns:

A dictionary of extra fields, or None if config.extra is not set to “allow”.

model_fields = {}#
property model_fields_set: set[str]#

Returns the set of fields that have been explicitly set on this model instance.

Returns:

A set of strings representing the fields that have been set,

i.e. that were not filled from defaults.

class phenotypic.measure.MeasureSize[source]#

Bases: MeasureFeatures

Measure colony area and integrated intensity as lightweight size proxies.

Extract two fundamental size metrics per detected colony: pixel area (biomass extent) and integrated grayscale intensity (total brightness, a proxy for optical density). This is a convenience class for rapid size assessment without the overhead of full shape or intensity statistical analysis.

Returns:

pd.DataFrame: Object-level size measurements with columns:

  • Label: unique object identifier.

  • Area: number of pixels occupied by the colony.

  • IntegratedIntensity: sum of grayscale pixel values (proxy for biomass / optical density).

Best For:
  • Quick quality-control screening of colony size distributions.

  • Time-course growth tracking via area at successive time points.

  • Filtering colonies by minimum size to exclude debris or aborted growth before downstream measurement.

Consider Also:
  • MeasureShape for comprehensive morphological metrics (circularity, convex hull, Feret diameters).

  • MeasureIntensity for full intensity statistics (percentiles, variance, coefficient of variation).

  • MeasureGridSpread for detecting multi-object wells in arrayed assays.

See Also:

Category: Size#

Name

Description

Area

Total number of pixels occupied by the microbial colony.Larger areas typically indicate more robust growth or longer incubation times.

IntegratedIntensity

The sum of the object’s grayscale pixels. Calculated as \(\sum{\text{pixel values}} \times \text{area}\).

classmethod __get_pydantic_json_schema__(core_schema: CoreSchema, handler: GetJsonSchemaHandler, /) JsonSchemaValue#

Hook into generating the model’s JSON schema.

Parameters:
  • core_schema (CoreSchema) – A pydantic-core CoreSchema. You can ignore this argument and call the handler with a new CoreSchema, wrap this CoreSchema ({‘type’: ‘nullable’, ‘schema’: current_schema}), or just call the handler with the original schema.

  • handler (GetJsonSchemaHandler) – Call into Pydantic’s internal JSON schema generation. This will raise a pydantic.errors.PydanticInvalidForJsonSchema if JSON schema generation fails. Since this gets called by BaseModel.model_json_schema you can override the schema_generator argument to that function to change JSON schema generation globally for a type.

Returns:

A JSON schema, as a Python object.

Return type:

JsonSchemaValue

classmethod __pydantic_init_subclass__(**kwargs: Any) None#

Populate field descriptions from the subclass docstring.

Runs once per concrete subclass after pydantic has built its model. Copies parameter descriptions parsed from the Google-style Args: docstring block onto each field’s description slot so they surface in model_json_schema() — the machine-readable contract used by downstream tooling (e.g. an MCP server).

Parameters:

**kwargs (Any) – Class-keyword arguments forwarded by pydantic.

Return type:

None

classmethod __pydantic_on_complete__() None#

This is called once the class and its fields are fully initialized and ready to be used.

This typically happens when the class is created (just before [__pydantic_init_subclass__()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.__pydantic_init_subclass__] is called on the superclass), except when forward annotations are used that could not immediately be resolved. In that case, it will be called later, when the model is rebuilt automatically or explicitly using [model_rebuild()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.model_rebuild].

Return type:

None

classmethod construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#
Parameters:
Return type:

Self

classmethod from_json(json_data: str | Path | dict) BaseOperation#

Reconstruct an operation from JSON written by to_json().

Accepts a JSON string, a path to a JSON file, or a pre-parsed envelope dict (same input handling as ImagePipeline.from_json()). Polymorphic: ImageOperation.from_json(path) returns whatever concrete operation the file holds. When called on a narrower subclass, the resolved class must be a subclass of it, else a TypeError is raised.

Parameters:

json_data (str | Path | dict) – A JSON string, path to a JSON file, or envelope dict.

Returns:

The reconstructed operation instance.

Raises:
  • AttributeError – If the recorded class cannot be resolved in the phenotypic namespace.

  • TypeError – If called on a concrete subclass and the file holds a class that is not a subclass of it.

Return type:

BaseOperation

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.abc_ import ImageOperation
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     OtsuDetector().to_json(p)
...     loaded = ImageOperation.from_json(p)  # polymorphic
>>> type(loaded).__name__
'OtsuDetector'
classmethod from_orm(obj: Any) Self#
Parameters:

obj (Any)

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set (set[str] | None) – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • values (Any) – Trusted or pre-validated data dictionary.

Returns:

A new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_json_schema(by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: str = '#/$defs/{model}', schema_generator: type[~pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema] = <class 'pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema'>, mode: ~typing.Literal['validation', 'serialization'] = 'validation', *, union_format: ~typing.Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array'] = 'any_of') dict[str, Any]#

Generates a JSON schema for a model class.

Parameters:
  • by_alias (bool) – Whether to use attribute aliases or not.

  • ref_template (str) – The reference template.

  • union_format (Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array']) –

    The format to use when combining schemas from unions together. Can be one of:

    keyword to combine schemas (the default). - ‘primitive_type_array’: Use the [type](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/type) keyword as an array of strings, containing each type of the combination. If any of the schemas is not a primitive type (string, boolean, null, integer or number) or contains constraints/metadata, falls back to any_of.

  • schema_generator (type[GenerateJsonSchema]) – To override the logic used to generate the JSON schema, as a subclass of GenerateJsonSchema with your desired modifications

  • mode (Literal['validation', 'serialization']) – The mode in which to generate the schema.

Returns:

The JSON schema for the given model class.

Return type:

dict[str, Any]

classmethod model_parametrized_name(params: tuple[type[Any], ...]) str#

Returns:

String representing the new class where params are passed to cls as type variables.

Raises:

TypeError – Raised when trying to generate concrete names for non-generic models.

measure(image, include_meta=False)#

Execute the measurement operation on a detected-object image.

This is the main public API method for extracting measurements. It handles: input validation, parameter extraction via introspection, calling the subclass-specific _operate() method, optional metadata merging, and exception handling.

How it works (for users):

  1. Pass your processed Image (with detected objects) to measure()

  2. The method calls your subclass’s _operate() implementation

  3. Results are validated and returned as a pandas DataFrame

  4. If include_meta=True, image metadata (filename, grid info) is merged in

How it works (for developers):

When you subclass MeasureFeatures, you only implement _operate(). This measure() method automatically:

  • Calls _operate(), which reads its parameters from self

  • Validates the Image has detected objects (objmap)

  • Wraps exceptions in OperationFailedError with context

  • Merges grid/object metadata if requested

Parameters:
  • image (Image) – A PhenoTypic Image object with detected objects (must have non-empty objmap from a prior detection operation).

  • include_meta (bool, optional) – If True, merge image metadata columns (filename, grid position, etc.) into the results DataFrame. Defaults to False.

Returns:

Measurement results with structure:

  • First column: OBJECT.LABEL (integer IDs from image.objmap[:])

  • Remaining columns: Measurement values (float, int, or string)

  • One row per detected object

If include_meta=True, additional metadata columns are prepended before OBJECT.LABEL (e.g., Filename, GridRow, GridCol).

Return type:

pd.DataFrame

Raises:

OperationFailedError – If _operate() raises any exception, it is caught and re-raised as OperationFailedError with details including the original exception type, message, image name, and operation class. This provides consistent error handling across all measurers.

Notes

  • This method is the main entry point; do not override in subclasses

  • Subclasses implement _operate() only, not this method

  • Automatic memory profiling is available via logging configuration

  • Image must have detected objects (image.objmap should be non-empty)

Examples

Basic measurement extraction:

>>> from phenotypic import Image
>>> from phenotypic.measure import MeasureSize
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> # Load and detect
>>> image = Image('plate.jpg')
>>> image = OtsuDetector().operate(image)
>>> # Extract measurements
>>> measurer = MeasureSize()
>>> df = measurer.measure(image)
>>> print(df.head())

Include metadata in measurements:

>>> # With image metadata (filename, grid info)
>>> df_with_meta = measurer.measure(image, include_meta=True)
>>> print(df_with_meta.columns)
# Output: ['Filename', 'GridRow', 'GridCol', 'OBJECT.LABEL',
#          'Area', 'IntegratedIntensity', ...]

!!! abstract “Usage Documentation”

[model_copy](../concepts/models.md#model-copy)

Returns a copy of the model.

!!! note

The underlying instance’s [__dict__][object.__dict__] attribute is copied. This might have unexpected side effects if you store anything in it, on top of the model fields (e.g. the value of [cached properties][functools.cached_property]).

Parameters:
  • update (Mapping[str, Any] | None) – Values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating the new model. You should trust this data.

  • deep (bool) – Set to True to make a deep copy of the model.

Returns:

A JSON string representation of the model.

Return type:

str

model_post_init(_BaseOperation__context: Any) None#

Initialize logging and memory tracking after model construction.

Replaces the legacy __init__ body: creates the per-class logger and, when that logger is enabled for INFO level or higher, starts tracemalloc so per-operation memory usage can be logged.

Parameters:
  • __context – Pydantic post-init context (unused).

  • _BaseOperation__context (Any)

Return type:

None

to_json(filepath: str | Path | None = None) str | None#

Serialize this operation to JSON.

Captures the operation as a {"class", "params"} envelope: params is model_dump(mode="json") (every declared field, including nested operations and raw arrays; PrivateAttr state such as loggers and timing is excluded automatically), and class records the concrete class name so from_json() can rebuild the right subclass. This mirrors ImagePipeline.to_json().

Parameters:

filepath (str | Path | None) – Optional path to write the JSON to. When None, the JSON string is returned instead. Accepts a str or Path.

Returns:

The JSON string when filepath is None, otherwise None.

Return type:

str | None

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> from phenotypic.sdk_ import CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION, ensure_typed_json_suffix
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     saved = ensure_typed_json_suffix(p, CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION)
...     OtsuDetector(ignore_zeros=True).to_json(p)

model_computed_fields = {}#
model_config: ClassVar[ConfigDict] = {'arbitrary_types_allowed': True, 'extra': 'forbid', 'validate_assignment': True}#

Configuration for the model, should be a dictionary conforming to [ConfigDict][pydantic.config.ConfigDict].

Get extra fields set during validation.

Returns:

A dictionary of extra fields, or None if config.extra is not set to “allow”.

model_fields = {}#
property model_fields_set: set[str]#

Returns the set of fields that have been explicitly set on this model instance.

Returns:

A set of strings representing the fields that have been set,

i.e. that were not filled from defaults.

Bases: MeasureFeatures, FigureProvider

Measure colony radial expansion and angular symmetry from the object mask alone.

Quantifies each colony by four scalars derived directly from its binary mask and distance-from-inoculum map — no skeletonization, no branch tracing, no runner outlier flagging. The headline output is SymmetricRadius, the first radius past the inoculum core at which the per-annulus circular mean resultant length of mask-boundary pixels drops below a tunable symmetry threshold. CoreRadius (PELT changepoint on the radial density profile, identical algorithm to MeasureRadialExpansion) anchors the measurement; MeanExpansion and MaxExpansion summarise how far growth reached past that core.

Zone segmentation (core / dense / sparse) uses a 1D per-annulus normalised colony-ness signal c(r) computed from the ring-wide mean intensity. After calibrating I_core and I_agar from percentiles of the expanded crop, each ring’s mean intensity is mapped into [0, 1] where 1 = pure colony and 0 = pure agar. For a roughly circular colony, c(r) decreases monotonically outward (uniform dense core ≈ 1, mixed dense branching ≈ 0.5–0.8, sparse branching ≈ 0.1–0.4, agar = 0), so zone boundaries follow directly from threshold crossings — no peak-finding. Zones are emitted as concentric circles at the three scalar radii. Variance and raw mean per ring are retained in the intermediates for diagnostic access but do not drive segmentation.

The mask’s only role in this signal is to (1) isolate which colony is being analysed, (2) seed the inoculum centre as the peak of the in-mask Euclidean distance transform, and (3) detect the colony-vs-agar intensity direction so the normalisation handles dark colonies (gray convention) and bright colonies (detect_mat convention) uniformly. The ring accumulation extends out to r_max = max_mask_radius × (1 + extent_margin) regardless of mask boundaries, so background pixels contribute truthfully to the signal.

Args:
n_annuli: Number of equal-area annuli used for the radial density

profile and angular analysis. Defaults to 100.

pelt_penalty: PELT penalty controlling changepoint sensitivity for

core detection. Defaults to 5.0.

symmetry_threshold: Minimum angular coverage (fraction of angular

bins occupied) for growth to be considered symmetric. Defaults to 4/6 (~0.667); with 6 angular bins this means at least 4 of 6 60-degree sectors must contain mask pixels.

n_angular_bins: Number of angular bins used to compute the

per-annulus angular coverage diagnostic. Defaults to 36 (10 degree resolution).

smoothing_window: Moving-average window (in annuli) applied to the

angular R̄ profile before the threshold test. Defaults to 3.

method: Inoculum centre estimator — "distance" uses the peak

of the Euclidean distance transform, "intensity" uses the intensity-weighted centroid. Defaults to "distance".

extent_margin: Fractional expansion of the ring accumulator past

the farthest mask pixel, so the outer annuli sample a small agar tail for the I_agar reference. Defaults to 0.05 (5%) — deliberately small because tight plates risk touching neighbouring colonies.

min_samples_per_ring: Minimum pixel count required to compute

a mean for a given ring; below this the ring’s mean is filled by linear interpolation from its neighbours before normalisation. Defaults to 5.

tau_core: Colony-ness threshold that marks the core/dense

boundary. The core zone extends out to the last ring where c(r) tau_core. Defaults to 0.9 (last “≥90% colony” ring).

tau_dense: Colony-ness threshold that marks the dense/sparse

boundary. The dense zone extends to the last ring where c(r) tau_dense. Defaults to 0.5 (last “majority colony” ring).

tau_sparse: Colony-ness threshold that marks the sparse/outside

boundary. The sparse zone extends to the last ring where c(r) tau_sparse, capped at the mask envelope. Defaults to 0.1.

intensity_source: Image array used for the mean-intensity

calculation – "gray" uses the grayscale (dark = colony), "detect_mat" uses the detection matrix (bright = colony). Direction is auto-detected. Defaults to "gray".

Returns:

pd.DataFrame: Object-level radial symmetry measurements with columns:

  • Object_Label: unique object identifier.

  • SymZones_CoreRadius: inoculum core radius (pixels).

  • SymZones_SymmetricRadius: first radius past the core where R̄ exceeds the symmetry threshold (pixels).

  • SymZones_MeanExpansion: mean boundary-pixel distance beyond the core (pixels, clamped at 0).

  • SymZones_MaxExpansion: maximum mask-pixel distance beyond the core (pixels, clamped at 0).

  • SymZones_CoreEndRadius: mean per-angle core boundary radius from the bright-fraction outward walk (pixels).

  • SymZones_DenseEndRadius: mean per-angle outer radius of the dense branching zone (pixels).

  • SymZones_SparseEndRadius: mean per-angle outer radius of the sparse branching zone, capped at the symmetric envelope (pixels).

  • SymZones_CoreArea: pixel^2 area of the inoculum core zone integrated across the 360-sector polar polygon.

  • SymZones_DenseArea: pixel^2 area of the dense branching zone (annular region between core and dense boundaries).

  • SymZones_SparseArea: pixel^2 area of the sparse branching zone (annular region between dense and outer boundaries).

Best For:
  • Summarising colony-level radial growth with a single symmetry figure of merit.

  • Distinguishing uniformly-expanding colonies from those with sectors, lopsided growth, or directional bias.

  • Comparing wild-type versus mutant expansion phenotypes when the biological question is about the colony envelope, not individual hyphae.

  • Time-course assays where runner counts are noisy but colony extent is informative.

Consider Also:
  • MeasureRadialExpansion when you need per-branch statistics (branch counts, outlier runner detection) rather than a single symmetry scalar.

  • MeasureShape for general morphological descriptors (circularity, eccentricity) that do not require radial analysis.

  • MeasureBounds for lightweight bounding-box data without any radial pipeline.

Category: SymZones#

Name

Description

CoreRadius

Radius of the dense inoculum core, determined by PELT changepoint detection on the radial mask-density profile centered on the inoculum. Growth measurements are reported relative to this boundary.

SymmetricRadius

Radial distance from the inoculum centroid at which colony growth ceases to be angularly uniform. Computed as the first radius past the core where the smoothed per-annulus circular mean resultant length of mask-boundary pixels exceeds the symmetry threshold. Equals the colony outer envelope when growth remains symmetric throughout.

MeanExpansion

Mean distance of mask-boundary pixels from the inoculum centroid, measured from the core boundary outward. Captures the typical radial extent of growth past the inoculum, averaged over all angular directions.

MaxExpansion

Maximum distance of any mask pixel from the inoculum centroid, measured from the core boundary outward. Captures the farthest extent of growth past the inoculum.

CoreEndRadius

Mean radius of the inoculum core boundary derived from the per-angle bright/background ratio walk. Each of 360 1° angular sectors finds the outer edge of the contiguous core run (bright fraction >= tau_core); the reported value is the mean across sectors. Compare with CoreRadius (the global PELT changepoint) — close agreement indicates a well-formed core.

DenseEndRadius

Mean outer radius of the dense branching zone, where mask-bright pixels dominate (bright fraction >= tau_sparse). Per-angle radii are capped at the SymmetricRadius and angularly median-smoothed before averaging.

SparseEndRadius

Mean outer radius of the sparse branching zone (= colony envelope inside the symmetric growth front). Equals min(objmask outer envelope, SymmetricRadius) per angle, averaged across 360 sectors.

CoreArea

Pixel^2 area of the inoculum core zone, integrated across the 360-sector polar polygon defined by the per-angle core radii.

DenseArea

Pixel^2 area of the dense branching zone, the annular region between the per-angle core boundary and dense-branching boundary.

SparseArea

Pixel^2 area of the sparse branching zone, the annular region between the per-angle dense boundary and the symmetric-envelope outer boundary.

Parameters:
  • n_annuli (int)

  • pelt_penalty (float)

  • symmetry_threshold (float)

  • n_angular_bins (int)

  • smoothing_window (int)

  • method (Literal['distance', 'intensity'])

  • extent_margin (float)

  • min_samples_per_ring (int)

  • tau_core (float)

  • tau_dense (float)

  • tau_sparse (float)

  • intensity_source (Literal['gray', 'detect_mat'])

classmethod __get_pydantic_json_schema__(core_schema: CoreSchema, handler: GetJsonSchemaHandler, /) JsonSchemaValue#

Hook into generating the model’s JSON schema.

Parameters:
  • core_schema (CoreSchema) – A pydantic-core CoreSchema. You can ignore this argument and call the handler with a new CoreSchema, wrap this CoreSchema ({‘type’: ‘nullable’, ‘schema’: current_schema}), or just call the handler with the original schema.

  • handler (GetJsonSchemaHandler) – Call into Pydantic’s internal JSON schema generation. This will raise a pydantic.errors.PydanticInvalidForJsonSchema if JSON schema generation fails. Since this gets called by BaseModel.model_json_schema you can override the schema_generator argument to that function to change JSON schema generation globally for a type.

Returns:

A JSON schema, as a Python object.

Return type:

JsonSchemaValue

classmethod __pydantic_init_subclass__(**kwargs: Any) None#

Populate field descriptions from the subclass docstring.

Runs once per concrete subclass after pydantic has built its model. Copies parameter descriptions parsed from the Google-style Args: docstring block onto each field’s description slot so they surface in model_json_schema() — the machine-readable contract used by downstream tooling (e.g. an MCP server).

Parameters:

**kwargs (Any) – Class-keyword arguments forwarded by pydantic.

Return type:

None

classmethod __pydantic_on_complete__() None#

This is called once the class and its fields are fully initialized and ready to be used.

This typically happens when the class is created (just before [__pydantic_init_subclass__()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.__pydantic_init_subclass__] is called on the superclass), except when forward annotations are used that could not immediately be resolved. In that case, it will be called later, when the model is rebuilt automatically or explicitly using [model_rebuild()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.model_rebuild].

Return type:

None

classmethod construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#
Parameters:
Return type:

Self

classmethod from_json(json_data: str | Path | dict) BaseOperation#

Reconstruct an operation from JSON written by to_json().

Accepts a JSON string, a path to a JSON file, or a pre-parsed envelope dict (same input handling as ImagePipeline.from_json()). Polymorphic: ImageOperation.from_json(path) returns whatever concrete operation the file holds. When called on a narrower subclass, the resolved class must be a subclass of it, else a TypeError is raised.

Parameters:

json_data (str | Path | dict) – A JSON string, path to a JSON file, or envelope dict.

Returns:

The reconstructed operation instance.

Raises:
  • AttributeError – If the recorded class cannot be resolved in the phenotypic namespace.

  • TypeError – If called on a concrete subclass and the file holds a class that is not a subclass of it.

Return type:

BaseOperation

classmethod model_construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set (set[str] | None) – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • values (Any) – Trusted or pre-validated data dictionary.

Returns:

A new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Return type:

Self

Generates a JSON schema for a model class.

Parameters:
  • by_alias (bool) – Whether to use attribute aliases or not.

  • ref_template (str) – The reference template.

  • union_format (Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array']) –

    The format to use when combining schemas from unions together. Can be one of:

    keyword to combine schemas (the default). - ‘primitive_type_array’: Use the [type](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/type) keyword as an array of strings, containing each type of the combination. If any of the schemas is not a primitive type (string, boolean, null, integer or number) or contains constraints/metadata, falls back to any_of.

  • schema_generator (type[GenerateJsonSchema]) – To override the logic used to generate the JSON schema, as a subclass of GenerateJsonSchema with your desired modifications

  • mode (Literal['validation', 'serialization']) – The mode in which to generate the schema.

Returns:

The JSON schema for the given model class.

inspect(image: Image | None = None, base_layer: Literal['rgb', 'gray', 'detect_mat'] = 'gray', *, for_save: bool = False)[source]#

Plate-level diagnostic overlay for symmetric-radius measurement.

Parameters:
  • image (Image | None) – Detected Image with objmap/objmask. If None, the image cached by the most recent measure() call is reused.

  • base_layer (Literal['rgb', 'gray', 'detect_mat']) – Which image array to use as the plotly background.

  • for_save (bool) – When True, every overlay trace is force-shown (no visible="legendonly") so the figure renders meaningfully as a static raster. The CLI’s --save-inspect flag passes this. Defaults to False (interactive Jupyter use, with overlay layers toggleable from the legend).

Returns:

plotly.graph_objects.Figure with toggleable overlay layers. Renders natively in Jupyter via the plotly mime bundle. For scroll-to-zoom, call fig.show(config={"scrollZoom": True}).

iter_figures() list[FigureSpec]#

measure(image, include_meta=False)#

Execute the measurement operation on a detected-object image.

This is the main public API method for extracting measurements. It handles: input validation, parameter extraction via introspection, calling the subclass-specific _operate() method, optional metadata merging, and exception handling.

How it works (for users):

  1. Pass your processed Image (with detected objects) to measure()

  2. The method calls your subclass’s _operate() implementation

  3. Results are validated and returned as a pandas DataFrame

  4. If include_meta=True, image metadata (filename, grid info) is merged in

How it works (for developers):

When you subclass MeasureFeatures, you only implement _operate(). This measure() method automatically:

  • Calls _operate(), which reads its parameters from self

  • Validates the Image has detected objects (objmap)

  • Wraps exceptions in OperationFailedError with context

  • Merges grid/object metadata if requested

Parameters:
  • image (Image) – A PhenoTypic Image object with detected objects (must have non-empty objmap from a prior detection operation).

  • include_meta (bool, optional) – If True, merge image metadata columns (filename, grid position, etc.) into the results DataFrame. Defaults to False.

Returns:

Measurement results with structure:

  • First column: OBJECT.LABEL (integer IDs from image.objmap[:])

  • Remaining columns: Measurement values (float, int, or string)

  • One row per detected object

If include_meta=True, additional metadata columns are prepended before OBJECT.LABEL (e.g., Filename, GridRow, GridCol).

Return type:

pd.DataFrame

Raises:

OperationFailedError – If _operate() raises any exception, it is caught and re-raised as OperationFailedError with details including the original exception type, message, image name, and operation class. This provides consistent error handling across all measurers.

Notes

  • This method is the main entry point; do not override in subclasses

  • Subclasses implement _operate() only, not this method

  • Automatic memory profiling is available via logging configuration

  • Image must have detected objects (image.objmap should be non-empty)

Examples

Basic measurement extraction:

>>> from phenotypic import Image
>>> from phenotypic.measure import MeasureSize
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> # Load and detect
>>> image = Image('plate.jpg')
>>> image = OtsuDetector().operate(image)
>>> # Extract measurements
>>> measurer = MeasureSize()
>>> df = measurer.measure(image)
>>> print(df.head())

Include metadata in measurements:

>>> # With image metadata (filename, grid info)
>>> df_with_meta = measurer.measure(image, include_meta=True)
>>> print(df_with_meta.columns)
# Output: ['Filename', 'GridRow', 'GridCol', 'OBJECT.LABEL',
#          'Area', 'IntegratedIntensity', ...]
model_copy(*, update: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None, deep: bool = False) Self#
!!! abstract “Usage Documentation”

[model_copy](../concepts/models.md#model-copy)

Returns a copy of the model.

!!! note

The underlying instance’s [__dict__][object.__dict__] attribute is copied. This might have unexpected side effects if you store anything in it, on top of the model fields (e.g. the value of [cached properties][functools.cached_property]).

Parameters:
  • update (Mapping[str, Any] | None) – Values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating the new model. You should trust this data.

  • deep (bool) – Set to True to make a deep copy of the model.

Returns:

New model instance.

Generate a dictionary representation of the model, optionally specifying which fields to include or exclude.

Parameters:
  • mode (Literal['json', 'python'] | str) – The mode in which to_python should run. If mode is ‘json’, the output will only contain JSON serializable types. If mode is ‘python’, the output may contain non-JSON-serializable Python objects.

  • round_trip (bool) – If True, dumped values should be valid as input for non-idempotent types such as Json[T].

  • warnings (bool | Literal['none', 'warn', 'error']) – How to handle serialization errors. False/”none” ignores them, True/”warn” logs errors, “error” raises a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError].

Returns:

A JSON string representation of the model.

Return type:

str

model_post_init(_BaseOperation__context: Any) None#

Initialize logging and memory tracking after model construction.

Replaces the legacy __init__ body: creates the per-class logger and, when that logger is enabled for INFO level or higher, starts tracemalloc so per-operation memory usage can be logged.

Parameters:
  • __context – Pydantic post-init context (unused).

  • _BaseOperation__context (Any)

Return type:

None

to_json(filepath: str | Path | None = None) str | None#

Serialize this operation to JSON.

Captures the operation as a {"class", "params"} envelope: params is model_dump(mode="json") (every declared field, including nested operations and raw arrays; PrivateAttr state such as loggers and timing is excluded automatically), and class records the concrete class name so from_json() can rebuild the right subclass. This mirrors ImagePipeline.to_json().

Parameters:

filepath (str | Path | None) – Optional path to write the JSON to. When None, the JSON string is returned instead. Accepts a str or Path.

Returns:

The JSON string when filepath is None, otherwise None.

Return type:

str | None

class phenotypic.measure.MeasureTexture(*, scale: List[int] = [5], quant_lvl: Literal[8, 16, 32, 64] = 32, enhance: bool = False, warn: bool = False)[source]#

Bases: MeasureFeatures

Measure colony surface texture using Haralick features from gray-level co-occurrence matrices.

Compute 13 second-order Haralick texture features per colony at one or more pixel-offset scales, across four directional angles (0, 45, 90, 135 degrees), plus direction-averaged values. These features quantify surface roughness, regularity, and directional patterns that distinguish colony morphotypes.

Args:
scale: Pixel offset(s) for the co-occurrence matrix. A single

integer or list of integers. Small values (1–2) capture fine texture; large values (5–10) capture coarse patterns. Default: 5.

quant_lvl: Number of gray-level bins for quantization. Accepted

values: 8, 16, 32, 64. Lower values are faster; higher values preserve texture nuance but are more noise-sensitive. Default: 32.

enhance: Rescale each colony’s intensity to [0, 1] before

computing Haralick features. Improves contrast in low-variance regions but can bias cross-colony comparisons. Default: False.

warn: Emit warnings when Haralick computation fails for

individual colonies (typically very small objects). Default: False.

Returns:

pd.DataFrame: Object-level texture measurements with columns:

  • Label: unique object identifier.

  • 13 Haralick features x 4 angles = 52 directional columns per scale (e.g., Contrast-deg000-scale05).

  • 13 direction-averaged columns per scale (e.g., Contrast-avg-scale05).

Best For:
  • Distinguishing smooth wild-type colonies from rough, wrinkled, or sporulated mutants.

  • Assessing mycelial organization in filamentous fungi (radial vs cottony growth).

  • Multi-feature phenotypic clustering when combined with size, shape, and color measurements.

  • MeasureShape for geometric morphology metrics (circularity, Feret diameters) that complement texture.

  • MeasureIntensity for brightness statistics without spatial co-occurrence information.

  • MeasureColor for pigmentation-based phenotyping.

Category: Texture#

Name

Description

AngularSecondMoment

Angular second moment (energy / uniformity). Measures the degree of local homogeneity

(Σ p(i,j)²). High values → uniform texture (e.g., smooth, yeast-like colonies with consistent mycelial density). Low values → heterogeneous surfaces (e.g., sectored, wrinkled, or mixed sporulation zones). Reflects colony surface regularity rather than brightness.

Contrast

Contrast (local intensity variation; Σ (i–j)² p(i,j)). High values indicate strong gray-level

differences (e.g., sharply defined rings, radial sectors, raised or folded regions). Low values indicate gradual tonal changes or uniformly pigmented colonies. Quantifies visual roughness and zonation amplitude.

Correlation

Linear gray-level correlation between neighboring pixels. Positive, high values suggest

structured spatial dependence (e.g., oriented radial hyphae or concentric patterns); near-zero values indicate uncorrelated, disordered growth (e.g., diffuse cottony mycelium). Sensitive to illumination gradients and directional GLCM computation.

HaralickVariance

GLCM variance (Σ (i–μ)² p(i,j)). Captures spread of co-occurring gray-level pairs, distinct

from raw intensity variance. High values → complex, multi-zone textures with variable hyphal/spore densities. Low values → consistent gray-level relationships and simpler colony surfaces.

InverseDifferenceMoment

Homogeneity (Σ p(i,j) / (1 + (i–j)²)). High values → smooth, locally uniform textures

(e.g., glabrous colonies, uniform aerial mycelium). Low values → abrupt gray-level changes (e.g., granular sporulation, wrinkled surfaces). Typically inversely correlated with Contrast.

SumAverage

Mean of gray-level sums (Σ k·p_{x+y}(k)). Reflects the average intensity combination of

neighboring pixels. In fungal colonies, can loosely parallel mean colony brightness when illumination and exposure are controlled, but remains a second-order rather than first-order intensity metric.

SumVariance

Variance of gray-level sum distribution. High values → heterogeneous brightness zones

(e.g., alternating dense/sparse or pigmented/non-pigmented regions). Low values → uniform tone across the colony. Often correlated with Contrast; use comparatively within one setup.

SumEntropy

Entropy of the gray-level sum distribution. High values → diverse brightness combinations

and irregular zonation. Low values → repetitive or periodic brightness patterns (e.g., evenly spaced rings). Indicates spatial unpredictability of summed intensities.

Entropy

Global GLCM entropy (–Σ p(i,j)·log p(i,j)). Measures total texture disorder and information

content. High values → complex, irregular colony surfaces (powdery, fuzzy, or sectored growth). Low values → simple, smooth, predictable patterns (glabrous or uniform colonies). Sensitive to gray-level quantization and image dynamic range.

DiffVariance

Variance of gray-level difference distribution. High values → mixture of smooth and textured

regions (e.g., smooth margins with wrinkled centers). Low values → consistent edge content. Highlights heterogeneity in edge magnitude across the colony.

DiffEntropy

Entropy of gray-level difference distribution. High values → irregular, unpredictable

intensity transitions (e.g., random sporulation or uneven mycelial networks). Low values → regular periodic transitions (e.g., concentric zonation). Reflects randomness of local contrast rather than its magnitude.

InfoCorrelation1

Information measure of correlation 1. Compares joint vs marginal entropies to quantify

mutual dependence between gray levels. Positive values → structured, predictable textures (e.g., organized radial growth); near-zero → independence between adjacent regions. Direction of sign varies with implementation.

InfoCorrelation2

Information measure of correlation 2 (√[1 – exp(–2 (H_xy2–H_xy))]). Always ≥ 0.

Values approaching 1 → strong spatial dependence and organized architecture (e.g., symmetric rings, radial structure). Values near 0 → random, independent patterns. Captures nonlinear organization missed by linear correlation.

Parameters:
classmethod __get_pydantic_json_schema__(core_schema: CoreSchema, handler: GetJsonSchemaHandler, /) JsonSchemaValue#

Hook into generating the model’s JSON schema.

Parameters:
  • core_schema (CoreSchema) – A pydantic-core CoreSchema. You can ignore this argument and call the handler with a new CoreSchema, wrap this CoreSchema ({‘type’: ‘nullable’, ‘schema’: current_schema}), or just call the handler with the original schema.

  • handler (GetJsonSchemaHandler) – Call into Pydantic’s internal JSON schema generation. This will raise a pydantic.errors.PydanticInvalidForJsonSchema if JSON schema generation fails. Since this gets called by BaseModel.model_json_schema you can override the schema_generator argument to that function to change JSON schema generation globally for a type.

Returns:

A JSON schema, as a Python object.

Return type:

JsonSchemaValue

classmethod __pydantic_init_subclass__(**kwargs: Any) None#

Populate field descriptions from the subclass docstring.

Runs once per concrete subclass after pydantic has built its model. Copies parameter descriptions parsed from the Google-style Args: docstring block onto each field’s description slot so they surface in model_json_schema() — the machine-readable contract used by downstream tooling (e.g. an MCP server).

Parameters:

**kwargs (Any) – Class-keyword arguments forwarded by pydantic.

Return type:

None

classmethod __pydantic_on_complete__() None#

This is called once the class and its fields are fully initialized and ready to be used.

This typically happens when the class is created (just before [__pydantic_init_subclass__()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.__pydantic_init_subclass__] is called on the superclass), except when forward annotations are used that could not immediately be resolved. In that case, it will be called later, when the model is rebuilt automatically or explicitly using [model_rebuild()][pydantic.main.BaseModel.model_rebuild].

Return type:

None

classmethod construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#
Parameters:
Return type:

Self

classmethod from_json(json_data: str | Path | dict) BaseOperation#

Reconstruct an operation from JSON written by to_json().

Accepts a JSON string, a path to a JSON file, or a pre-parsed envelope dict (same input handling as ImagePipeline.from_json()). Polymorphic: ImageOperation.from_json(path) returns whatever concrete operation the file holds. When called on a narrower subclass, the resolved class must be a subclass of it, else a TypeError is raised.

Parameters:

json_data (str | Path | dict) – A JSON string, path to a JSON file, or envelope dict.

Returns:

The reconstructed operation instance.

Raises:
  • AttributeError – If the recorded class cannot be resolved in the phenotypic namespace.

  • TypeError – If called on a concrete subclass and the file holds a class that is not a subclass of it.

Return type:

BaseOperation

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.abc_ import ImageOperation
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     OtsuDetector().to_json(p)
...     loaded = ImageOperation.from_json(p)  # polymorphic
>>> type(loaded).__name__
'OtsuDetector'
classmethod from_orm(obj: Any) Self#
Parameters:

obj (Any)

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_construct(_fields_set: set[str] | None = None, **values: Any) Self#

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set (set[str] | None) – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • values (Any) – Trusted or pre-validated data dictionary.

Returns:

A new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Return type:

Self

classmethod model_json_schema(by_alias: bool = True, ref_template: str = '#/$defs/{model}', schema_generator: type[~pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema] = <class 'pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema'>, mode: ~typing.Literal['validation', 'serialization'] = 'validation', *, union_format: ~typing.Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array'] = 'any_of') dict[str, Any]#

Generates a JSON schema for a model class.

Parameters:
  • by_alias (bool) – Whether to use attribute aliases or not.

  • ref_template (str) – The reference template.

  • union_format (Literal['any_of', 'primitive_type_array']) –

    The format to use when combining schemas from unions together. Can be one of:

    keyword to combine schemas (the default). - ‘primitive_type_array’: Use the [type](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/type) keyword as an array of strings, containing each type of the combination. If any of the schemas is not a primitive type (string, boolean, null, integer or number) or contains constraints/metadata, falls back to any_of.

  • schema_generator (type[GenerateJsonSchema]) – To override the logic used to generate the JSON schema, as a subclass of GenerateJsonSchema with your desired modifications

  • mode (Literal['validation', 'serialization']) – The mode in which to generate the schema.

Returns:

The JSON schema for the given model class.

measure(image, include_meta=False)#

Execute the measurement operation on a detected-object image.

This is the main public API method for extracting measurements. It handles: input validation, parameter extraction via introspection, calling the subclass-specific _operate() method, optional metadata merging, and exception handling.

How it works (for users):

  1. Pass your processed Image (with detected objects) to measure()

  2. The method calls your subclass’s _operate() implementation

  3. Results are validated and returned as a pandas DataFrame

  4. If include_meta=True, image metadata (filename, grid info) is merged in

How it works (for developers):

When you subclass MeasureFeatures, you only implement _operate(). This measure() method automatically:

  • Calls _operate(), which reads its parameters from self

  • Validates the Image has detected objects (objmap)

  • Wraps exceptions in OperationFailedError with context

  • Merges grid/object metadata if requested

Parameters:
  • image (Image) – A PhenoTypic Image object with detected objects (must have non-empty objmap from a prior detection operation).

  • include_meta (bool, optional) – If True, merge image metadata columns (filename, grid position, etc.) into the results DataFrame. Defaults to False.

Returns:

Measurement results with structure:

  • First column: OBJECT.LABEL (integer IDs from image.objmap[:])

  • Remaining columns: Measurement values (float, int, or string)

  • One row per detected object

If include_meta=True, additional metadata columns are prepended before OBJECT.LABEL (e.g., Filename, GridRow, GridCol).

Return type:

pd.DataFrame

Raises:

OperationFailedError – If _operate() raises any exception, it is caught and re-raised as OperationFailedError with details including the original exception type, message, image name, and operation class. This provides consistent error handling across all measurers.

Notes

  • This method is the main entry point; do not override in subclasses

  • Subclasses implement _operate() only, not this method

  • Automatic memory profiling is available via logging configuration

  • Image must have detected objects (image.objmap should be non-empty)

Examples

Basic measurement extraction:

>>> from phenotypic import Image
>>> from phenotypic.measure import MeasureSize
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> # Load and detect
>>> image = Image('plate.jpg')
>>> image = OtsuDetector().operate(image)
>>> # Extract measurements
>>> measurer = MeasureSize()
>>> df = measurer.measure(image)
>>> print(df.head())

Include metadata in measurements:

>>> # With image metadata (filename, grid info)
>>> df_with_meta = measurer.measure(image, include_meta=True)
>>> print(df_with_meta.columns)
# Output: ['Filename', 'GridRow', 'GridCol', 'OBJECT.LABEL',
#          'Area', 'IntegratedIntensity', ...]

!!! note

The underlying instance’s [__dict__][object.__dict__] attribute is copied. This might have unexpected side effects if you store anything in it, on top of the model fields (e.g. the value of [cached properties][functools.cached_property]).

Parameters:
  • update (Mapping[str, Any] | None) – Values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating the new model. You should trust this data.

  • deep (bool) – Set to True to make a deep copy of the model.

Returns:

New model instance.

[model_dump](../concepts/serialization.md#python-mode)

Generate a dictionary representation of the model, optionally specifying which fields to include or exclude.

Parameters:
  • mode (Literal['json', 'python'] | str) – The mode in which to_python should run. If mode is ‘json’, the output will only contain JSON serializable types. If mode is ‘python’, the output may contain non-JSON-serializable Python objects.

  • include (set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | Mapping[str, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | None) – A set of fields to include in the output.

  • exclude (set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | Mapping[str, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | None) – A set of fields to exclude from the output.

  • context (Any | None) – Additional context to pass to the serializer.

  • by_alias (bool | None) – Whether to use the field’s alias in the dictionary key if defined.

  • exclude_unset (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that have not been explicitly set.

  • exclude_defaults (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that are set to their default value.

  • exclude_none (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that have a value of None.

  • exclude_computed_fields (bool) – Whether to exclude computed fields. While this can be useful for round-tripping, it is usually recommended to use the dedicated round_trip parameter instead.

  • round_trip (bool) – If True, dumped values should be valid as input for non-idempotent types such as Json[T].

  • warnings (bool | Literal['none', 'warn', 'error']) – How to handle serialization errors. False/”none” ignores them, True/”warn” logs errors, “error” raises a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError].

  • fallback (Callable[[Any], Any] | None) – A function to call when an unknown value is encountered. If not provided, a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError] error is raised.

  • serialize_as_any (bool) – Whether to serialize fields with duck-typing serialization behavior.

Returns:

A dictionary representation of the model.

Return type:

[model_dump_json](../concepts/serialization.md#json-mode)

Generates a JSON representation of the model using Pydantic’s to_json method.

Parameters:
  • indent (int | None) – Indentation to use in the JSON output. If None is passed, the output will be compact.

  • ensure_ascii (bool) – If True, the output is guaranteed to have all incoming non-ASCII characters escaped. If False (the default), these characters will be output as-is.

  • include (set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | Mapping[str, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | None) – Field(s) to include in the JSON output.

  • exclude (set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | Mapping[str, set[int] | set[str] | Mapping[int, IncEx | bool] | Mapping[str, IncEx | bool] | bool] | None) – Field(s) to exclude from the JSON output.

  • context (Any | None) – Additional context to pass to the serializer.

  • by_alias (bool | None) – Whether to serialize using field aliases.

  • exclude_unset (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that have not been explicitly set.

  • exclude_defaults (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that are set to their default value.

  • exclude_none (bool) – Whether to exclude fields that have a value of None.

  • exclude_computed_fields (bool) – Whether to exclude computed fields. While this can be useful for round-tripping, it is usually recommended to use the dedicated round_trip parameter instead.

  • round_trip (bool) – If True, dumped values should be valid as input for non-idempotent types such as Json[T].

  • warnings (bool | Literal['none', 'warn', 'error']) – How to handle serialization errors. False/”none” ignores them, True/”warn” logs errors, “error” raises a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError].

  • fallback (Callable[[Any], Any] | None) – A function to call when an unknown value is encountered. If not provided, a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError] error is raised.

  • serialize_as_any (bool) – Whether to serialize fields with duck-typing serialization behavior.

Returns:

A JSON string representation of the model.

Return type:

str

model_post_init(_BaseOperation__context: Any) None#

Initialize logging and memory tracking after model construction.

Replaces the legacy __init__ body: creates the per-class logger and, when that logger is enabled for INFO level or higher, starts tracemalloc so per-operation memory usage can be logged.

Parameters:
  • __context – Pydantic post-init context (unused).

  • _BaseOperation__context (Any)

Return type:

None

to_json(filepath: str | Path | None = None) str | None#

Serialize this operation to JSON.

Captures the operation as a {"class", "params"} envelope: params is model_dump(mode="json") (every declared field, including nested operations and raw arrays; PrivateAttr state such as loggers and timing is excluded automatically), and class records the concrete class name so from_json() can rebuild the right subclass. This mirrors ImagePipeline.to_json().

Parameters:

filepath (str | Path | None) – Optional path to write the JSON to. When None, the JSON string is returned instead. Accepts a str or Path.

Returns:

The JSON string when filepath is None, otherwise None.

Return type:

str | None

Example

>>> import tempfile
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> from phenotypic.detect import OtsuDetector
>>> from phenotypic.sdk_ import CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION, ensure_typed_json_suffix
>>> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as d:
...     p = Path(d) / "op.json"
...     saved = ensure_typed_json_suffix(p, CONFIG_SUFFIX_OPERATION)
...     OtsuDetector(ignore_zeros=True).to_json(p)
...     loaded = OtsuDetector.from_json(saved)
>>> loaded.ignore_zeros
True

property model_extra: dict[str, Any] | None#

Get extra fields set during validation.

Returns:

A dictionary of extra fields, or None if config.extra is not set to “allow”.
