Completed jobs will have three artifacts that can be downloaded.

Aggregate Measurements which contain image level measurements such as pore count, density and g max.

Pore Measurements contains complex level measurements pore width, length, area, width/length ratio, opening status; guard cell area (total per stoma) and if applicable subsidiary cell area (total per stoma). For each detection a confidence score ranging from 0-1 is included indicating the strength of the detection model's response to the complex, detections below 0.6 are filtered by our backend.

Visualised Measurements will download a .zip file which contains the measurements made by the model overladed onto the original samples.
