Centroid size is highly dependent of the original configuration and
giving it a unit of measure could be misleading - as the latter is
independent of the object in question.

Centroid size has the same units as the coordinates with which it is
computed. If you have scaled your image to cm, then CS is in cm, mm-mm.
CS from unscaled images are probably in pixels that are assumed to be
square.
Hmm, if you only had the specimen, say, a human in anatomical position,
you could scale by anatomy and produce CS in, say, cubits.

Crew
is it possible to convert centroid size values into some "commonly
known" unit of measure, for instance into centimetres? Assuming one
took pictures without setting any scale beside the organism.
