GRID_SPREAD#

Python object: phenotypic.schema._grid_spread.GRID_SPREAD

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.

Description

GridSpread_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.
