1. A method for providing measurement data of a region of interest in an image in a graphical user interface (GUI) environment, the method comprising:

  • locating a pair of edge points, along first and second directions, based on an initial center position of the region of interest selected by a user in a pixel field presented in the GUI;

    calculating an updated center position of the region of interest based on located edge mints along the first and second directions;

    repeating locating updated edge points and calculating an updated center position, based on a previously calculated center position and previously located edge points respectively, until a convergence or divergence is determined based at least in part on differences between consecutively calculated center positions;

    computing the measurement data based on a final center position relative to edge points associated with the final center position in an event convergence is determined; and

    reporting the measurement data in the event convergence is detected or reporting a failure state in an event divergence is detected.
