Excellent, this is why you ask questions since sometimes the answer is
easy.

If your object is a simple polygon or "blob", as in
the description above, then Find_Boundary will
automatically find the boundary pixels for you
and calculate perimeter distance, center, and area (in
two slightly different, but correct, ways).

Something like this seems promising

Anyone ever thought about this?
